Polish palec and Russian палец mean finger/toe. Today it came to my attention that Czech also has palec, but it means thumb. Czech for finger/toe is prst and Macedonian is прст. Interesting.

And how do you pronounce "prst"?!
Take first, replace it by pirst, pronounce it repeteadly and try to shorten the length of the "ir" element. The remaining "r" should be a bit rolled and will have a slight vowel quality.
