Turdimurod Rakhmanov Oct 2, 2019:
Dear Jack Slep, I agree with you regarding how people call it, but IMHO, I think, it is a menu or description of that фаланга краба, which is Meatiest and longest part, so it must be rendered as clear as it is.
Please, see here in Russian: Первая фаланга краба является наиболее мясистой и самой длинной частью его конечности и обладает отличными вкусовыми качествами. https://rak-lobster.ru/product/myaso-kraba-1-ya-falanga
and here:
To all: Grab your crab and enjoy it, Bon appetit!

How to Eat Maryland Blue Crabs Step 3
Detach the upper arm (merus) from the forearm (propodus) by twisting and pulling at the elbow (carpus). If done properly, the upper arm meat should slide out in one softly connected, purpled piece. If there is still meat inside, use your molars, a nut cracker, or a wooden mallet to crack the upper arm enough to break in with your fingers and peel back the shell to reveal the meat.

Frozen Seafoods. Cooked-frozen Red King Crab. ... The first phalanx of red king crab. Second phalanx of king crab.
However, here in USA they're simply crab first leg. KISS principle... E.g., King Crab or Russian Kamchatka Crab - Pinterest

King Crab or Russian Kamchatka Crab What others are saying Don t know how to cook the legs of your king crab Here is a nice way of cooking those king crab legs deliciously and its Easy baked king crab legs with. I never cooked a King crab phalanx/phalange, but many legs while living in Alaska.
Turdimurod Rakhmanov Oct 1, 2019:
Thank you, David for clarification, I was thinking it is used for a large group of people, animals or things and also as a syn of phalange.
David Knowles Oct 1, 2019:
In the anatomical meaning phalange is the singular wikidiff: As nouns the difference between phalange and phalanx is that phalange is (anatomy) one of the bones of the finger or toe, also called phalanx while phalanx is a large group of people, animals or things, compact or closely massed, or tightly knit and united in common purpose.
Turdimurod Rakhmanov Oct 1, 2019:
Here it says "phalanx" is singular, "phalanges" is a plural form.

David Knowles Oct 1, 2019:
To Turdimurove Etymologically they are the same, but in meaning they are different (as wikidiff says). Phalanx is an army and phalange is a bone.
Turdimurod Rakhmanov Oct 1, 2019:
To David, I think they are synonyms,

David Knowles Oct 1, 2019:
phalanx vs phalange The OED says this (of phalange), so it started as being the array of bones, but then transferred to a single bone.
Anatomy and Zoology. Originally: †the row of bones in each finger or toe; the entire array of these bones in the hand or foot (obsolete). Later: each of the bones of the fingers or toes, or of the homologous parts of other vertebrates. Also: each of the segments of a finger or toe between two joints (rare).

Да, Ирина, смех с утра приятно! А у нас ночь, как Игор написал, смех на ночь, спать хочеться. Когда написал, не заметил, действительно, Спасибо, Ирина, что обратили внимание на юмор, говорят что передать шутку на другом языке задача непосильная. Сейчас уверен, что если уберешь одну слову, и вот юмор переводчика.

@Turdimurod Rakhmanov
Фаланга - короткая трубчатая кость пальца.
https://dic.academic.ru/dic.nsf/ogegova/256062
Фала́нги (греч. φάλαγξ) — короткие трубчатые кости, образующие скелет пальцев конечностей позвоночных животных, в том числе человека.
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Фаланга_(анатомия)
Буду благодарен за указание связи между словом phalanx и arthropoda в толковых словарях здесь
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/phalanx
https://www.thefreedictionary.com/phalange
или в другом месте.
Боюсь, что в русском кто-то далекий от анатомии беспозвоночных когда-то назвал эту часть конечности краба (членик) фалангой, не задумываясь, а мы теперь имеем возможность наблюдать последствия.
Еще о сегментах и фалангах (здесь также упоминается голень и бедро)

и о строении краба)

Спасибо за здоровый смех с утра! "отдельно фаланга краба-то, phalange (как у Олега)"

Так фаланга-то у краба или у Олега??

Олег, извините, Вы случайно под раздачу попали:-)

agree The Misha : This seems to be the most credible of all the options suggested. All that ridiculous "phalanx" business reminds me of Roman legions and automatic naval anti-missile gun systems. Nothing to do with crabs:)

Thank you!)
agree Turdimurod Rakhmanov : the First phalanx's also called Merus (the biggest phalanx), phalange (как у Олега) или phalanx. Please, see the page 14: https://www.worldtravelcateringexpo.com/__novadocuments/4488...

Не буду спорить, хотя мне кажется, что к строению конечностей у членистоногих даже в русском более подходит слово сегмент, а фаланга относится к трубчатым костям пальцев позвоночных.// Членик! - они же членистоногие)

первая фаланга

first-class. If it was meat, it might be "prime cut" or wine "premier cru" etc.

Crab First Leg/phalanx - Image Results

I don't know what you do in Europe, but when I go to the restaurant I order crab LEGS. If I ordered "phalanx" I'd be thrown out for sexual harassment.

neutral Oleg Lozinskiy : You seem to have different crabs in your restaurants. Maryland Blue Crabs, perhaps. Parts of King Crabs are depicted here - https://imgur.com/X9TzN7V (thanks to Igor who has found it).
