Not many know that Sinister means left-handed in Latin and Dexter means right-handed.

You even placed them on the correct side of the body, with Sinister being on the left and Dexter on the right.

For those who don't know, the word sinister got it's negative connotation, because left-handed people could shake hands with the right hand (which was used to show that you had no weapon) then attack with the weapon in the left hand.

Oddly, the word Aristocrat means rule by the best has similar roots as the word left in Greek, aristera. Aristotle also has similar roots, and he may have been left-handed.

Anyway, well done.
