A small piece or part of something like a piece of glass add one letter to beginning of hand?

Adding the letter "L" to the beginning of "hand" creates the Word "Lhand," which does not have a specific meaning. However, if you meant to suggest a Word that means a small piece of something, "shard" could fit that description for glass. For the Wordplay, the intended answer might be "strand," as it can refer to a small piece or part, often in the context of thread or hair.
