As I told usa-tralian, the sakana in the Gemara is not bones. Also, the Zohar is no more halacha than Midrash is, meaning that if it is contradicted in the Gemara it is certainly not halacha, and if is not spoken about in the Gemara than it may be a good thing, but you do not have to follow it. Then again, I understand that you cut your nails in a particular order (as per that thread that time), so apparently you do tend to keep Kabbalistic stringencies. I am still waiting for hello99’s response to my question to him, he usually has a lot of sources, and if what I wrote was true then you may not have a problem altogether.
