left-hand
Southpaw's dominant side
Left-hand describes something on or relating to the left side, or designed for use with the left hand: the left-hand corner of the page, a left-hand turn, left-hand scissors.
A left-hand man is a trusted assistant, though the right-hand version is far more common.
In music, left-hand parts are written for the pianist's left hand.
