Leg of a Young-diagram cell ($l_{\lambda }(i,j)={\lambda }_j^{\prime }-i$)

The leg consists of the cells strictly below $(i,j)$ in its column of the Young diagram; its length is $l_{\lambda }(i,j)={\lambda }_j^{\prime }-i$, where ${\lambda }^{\prime }$ is the conjugate partition. It excludes the anchor cell. At $(1,2)$ in $(3,2)$ the leg contains only $(2,2)$, so its length is one. Transposing the Young diagram exchanges the leg and the arm of a Young-diagram cell.
