Words
hemina is a greek unit and means : the half . It also existed in the old Roman volume units. In SMH, one hemina is half-a-hexadecimal barrel or eighty hexa-a-litres.
klafter
litterally " the extended arms " (cf. French: toise, from latin tendere, to extend), equals always six feet. The English translation "fathom" is not satisfying
since this word already stands for the German nautical measure Faden. Therefore the word klafter is used in the English text, without translation.
pous metrios, one of the ancient Greek feet. It measures 16 / 15 Roman feet. Its idealistic value is 2 6 × 3 2 × 5 -4 × 7 3 = 316.1088 mm.
It is identical to the Austrian foot.
shrek is one of the rare historically not-attested unit names in SMH. One shrek is four hexa-i-liters, a quarter-roquille or four muids, i.e. about 6.5 millilitres.
(Note : There is no connection to the homonymous film, that the author didn't see.)
yard Internationally, the best word for any three-feet-ell is the word " yard ", since the well-known English yard equals three feet.
