Hello.

I wished to say 'left-handed' in Esperanto once, and being too lazy to look the dictionary up, I came up with the word 'maldekstramanuzemulo'. Does this word, in your opinion, convey the intended idea well?

Thank You!

Left-handed is "maldekstra-manulo" if it's a substantive, or "maldekstra" if it's an adjective.

Benson has maldekstrulo, which is in consistent with PIV 2005. But Butler (1960s) is consistent with Hispanio's definition. So there may be more than one possibility here, with the longer definition being the older one.
