That is specifically the name for the big toe though, and while there are names for the various other toes (they’re quite uncommon, I don’t remember them), they’re not generic like “toe”
Interesting read, thanks! I’d be curious to see if in 100 years they will become common enough to be considered “real words”, or if they will disappear, who knows

No, only alluce is a real word. The other names seems to be made up just to make a funny story.
