plantar, se=is, fosa diente???
On my other flashcard site I made a list for things related to the body and came across some things I did not understand. Maybe the definitions were wrong or it is something I have never seen before.
se=is {this seems totally wrong?}
plantar=foot[adj.] Could not find this anywhere?
fosa diente=tooth cavity {This seems ok but not sure}
Now for some uncommon words and phrases that seem just fine and I thought they were very good.
ventana de la nariz = nostril
dedo corazón = middle finger {They also had "dedo medio"}
Gracias!

I would suggest tha the se=is is a typo, someone transposed the letters es=is
plantar=foot (sounds plausible, perhaps due to some ancestor in Latin. Ever hear of a plantar wart? They occur on the feet or toes. More likely it has something to do with being on your feet.
plantar....coloq. Ponerse de pie firme ocupando un lugar o sitio.
Similar to how we use "plant yourself."
I think that the fosa diente is wrong. Someone mistook the meaning of "cavity". Fosa nasal is a nasal cavity (nostril). It refer to the type of cavity that is a depression or hole. A tooth cavity is a caries. Even though, I can see how a hole or depression in a tooth could be thought of as a "cavity" like a hole in the ground
los dedos de la mano
el pulgar o el dedo gordo (thumb)
el índice (index finger)
el corazón o el dedo mayor o el dedo medio (middle finger)
el dedo anular (ring finger)
el meñique o el dedo pequeño (the pinky)
.
Hola Fox...
Without any dictionaries or notes...
Se = no way...! Not 'is"
Plantar = could be something related to 'la planta del pie' or the 'sole of the foot'.
Fosa diente = nooooo! Watch next line:
Caries = Cavities (as in those that your dentist doesn't want to see)
Ventana de la nariz = Hmm... no! Fosas nasales = Nostrils
Dedo corazón = Otro NO! ---> Dedo medio = Middle finger.
