27, and... 8 in wrist, 19 in hand and fingers

Which would make 27. Now, consider this-h is the eighth letter of the alphabet, a is the first, n is the fourteenth, and d is the fourth.

8+1+14+4=27 (H+A+N+D=27)

Rather odd, I must say.

According to this, human hands only have 26 bones...

There are 54 bones in total, counting the 28 phalanges (fingers), 10 metacarpal bones (knuckles) and 16 carpal bones (wrist).
