Cult. It is said that when God (Manama) created man and woman that they pulled away from him and he only held them by the ends of their fingers and toes. Because of this, only the fingernails and toenails are made of the superior material that doesn't get cut easily – the rest of the body is covered with an inferior skin that is easily cut.
