Note
A regular plural that reaches beyond the body: on firearms, the forearms are the sections between receiver and muzzle, gripped to hold each weapon steady. The same spelling also serves the verb forearm, "to arm in preparation," often used figuratively, as in she forearms herself with facts. That verb has nothing to do with limbs, and the sentence's grammar tells the two apart: a noun names a thing, the verb takes an object.
