Most people know the Biblical concept of divine retribution which runs ...an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.... and after a while realise this comes up in the Discworld interpretation as embodied in the Gods Blind Io (eyes) and Offler (teeth). But take a closer look at Deuteronomy 19:21. Which reads, in full:
Thine eye shall not pity. Life shall go for life; an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, a foot for a foot...
Pedestriana is intimately associated with feet. In the same primal way Io gets eyes and Offler gets teeth. Now which God or Goddess does hands?
Seven-Handed Sek. Of course. Thank you for the prompt.
