la main
The hand that gives is happier than the one that receives.
La main qui donne est plus heureuse que celle qui reçoit.
She keeps holding me by the hand.
Elle continue de me tenir la main.
— My Friend Ivan Lapshin (1985)
And no one was protected by the hand, stretched out far away.
Et personne n'était protégé par la main tendue au loin.
— The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath! (1976)
Elle lui a pris la main.
