The rest of the quote from
HolQeD 10.2:8-9: ... the phrase {ghIchwIjDaq jISIq'egh} (with {-'egh} "oneself"), literally "I use at myself my index finger at my nose", is used for "I pick my nose with my index finger". Similarly, {nujDajDaq rIl'egh ghu}, literally "at his/her mouth, the baby uses at him/herself his/her thumb", is used for "the baby sucks its thumb".

No new canon here, he was just quoting his example from that HolQeD article:
nujDajDaq mar'egh ghu
the baby sucks its big toe. (HQ 10.2)
