| − | + | '''Safehand''' is an [[Alethi]] term for a female's left hand. According to [[Vorin]] cultural tradition, it is obscene for a woman to leave her safehand uncovered. Upper class women adhere to this tradition by wearing a sleeve that covers their left hand loosely. Often the sleeve has a safepouch sewn on the inside for women to store personal objects. It is considered extremely rude to open another woman's safepouch. Lower class women wear a glove so they can use both hands freely, and prostitutes provocatively wear no covering at all on their safehand. |
