fingering
Pianist's digit positioning
Fingering refers to the technique of placing and moving fingers, especially on a musical instrument.
A pianist's fingering determines which fingers play which notes; sheet music often includes fingering notations.
In sexual contexts, fingering means manually stimulating the genitals: They were fingering each other in the back seat.
The word also describes pointing out or identifying someone: The witness's fingering of the suspect led to his arrest.
