Claw
Nail, Talon, Hoof
noun
The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well, though it adds a few more meanings as well, like nail or talon or hoof or really any hard thing on the ends of fingers or feet.
The reading is the same as the one you learned with the kanji.
彼女の右の小指の爪の長さはなんと六メートルもあります。
Her right pinky nail is six meters long.
