| Comments: | It's a specific type of finger snap. See the video above. It matches the description on Wikipedia. I don't think it's vs in modern Japanese. Only nikk has たんし. |

| Refs: | daijs: 一万二千弾指を一昼夜とする。 86400 (seconds in a day)/12000=7.2 so 7.2 seconds isn't really wrong. |

| Refs: | GG5 (sense 2): (仏教で) 一瞬時〕 a moment. 一弾指の間に in a twinkling. |

| Comments: | The "7.2 seconds" presumably came from one of the 3 possible Buddhist meanings in the Wiktionary entry (not the most reliable source), but seems to have misinterpreted it. I think it's more useful to follow GG5's approach. |
