The origin of such names is based on the belief that they represent different signs (that someone has been telling lies, that there is a forthcoming present, etc.) mostly developed in the world of children.11 p.application/pdfcat(c) Veny, Joan, 1932-, 1999Cultura popularMalalties de les unglesPopular cultureNail Diseasesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article1827972019-11-06info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
