No - because Moties have three hands.

No - because Moties have three hands.

Right - third one is the gripping hand, used for heavy lifting, etc., and I believe it's on the right.

Atsali was proud to declare that she intended to avoid the usual Siren behavior and not be a sexual predator...

Yes and No, as I recall most of them are Asymmetrical on a 'same as everybody else' pattern, but there where a few that were 'Left-Handed', so to speak...

I believe that at one point in The Mote in God's Eye it was expressly stated that there were a few "left-handed" moties, which is what leads me to believe that in the normal motie, the gripping hand was on the right.

And I should have specified ". . . believe it's normally on the right."
