Notes
- cpd = a compound of two or more roots, e.g., t̨űmo, thousand + re̋no, step = t̨umre̋na, mile.
- pol = a word with a different, but related sense to an original word, e.g., ƥa̋ra, 1 cm., 0.4 in. [< ƥa̋ro, finger].
Measurements – me̋os
Length – pı̋ðta
- 001 a̋lda, 2 m.; fel~, 1 m.
- pol a̋lva, 0.8 cm.; 0.3 in. [< a̋lvo, barleycorn]
- 002 dőőura, palm width, 10 cm., 4 in. [> Old Greek δορον, handbreadth].
- 003 kőőta, span between thumb and index finger, 20 cm.; 8 in. [> Kannada cōṭu, span of thumb and forefinger].
- 004 na̋pa, 31 cm.; 12 in.
- pol ƥa̋ra, 1 cm.; 0.4 in. [< ƥa̋ro, finger].
- 005 ṡı̋da, half the length of the thumb, 2.5 cm.; 1 in.
- cpd t̨umre̋na, mile, 1.6 km., 5,280 na̋pos [t̨űmo, thousand; re̋no, step].
- 006 ve̋nha, 1 km., 0.62 mi. [> English pachyderm].
- 40 ṡı̋das = 1 dőőura
- 2 dőőuras = 1 kőőta
- 5 kőőtas = 1 a̋lda
- 1,000 a̋ldas = 1 ve̋nha
Area - a̋a̋r̈a
- Area is measured by the square of the units of length; squared = miga̋a̋maþo (self-multiplied).
- 4 square kőőtas = na̋a̋l koota̋s náálparpe̋go, i.e., a square of four kootas.
- 4 kőőtas squared = na̋a̋l miga̋a̋maþa kőőtas, four squared kootas.
- 1 ve̋nha = 1,000 a̋ldas = 5,000 kőőtas = 10,000 dőőuras = 40,000 ṡı̋das
Weight – te̋lra
- 007 kűrga, 10 gm.; 0.3 oz.
- 008 m̨a̋la, 100 gm.; 3.5 oz. [> Japanese masú, measure for grain].
- 009 pa̋d̨a, 1 kg.; 2.2 lb.; 1 talent
- 010 s̨a̋a̋ma, 1 tonne; 1.1 ton
- 10 kűrgas = 1 m̨a̋ɫa
- 10 m̨a̋ɫas = 1 pa̋d̨a
- 10 pa̋d̨as = 1 s̨a̋a̋ma
- 1 s̨a̋a̋ma = 10 pa̋d̨as = 100 m̨a̋ɫas = 1,000 kűrgas
Volume – te̋r̈a
- 011 aga̋lo 1 L.; 1 qt.; 1 dm.3; 1.8 pint [> Tamil akal, small earthen pot].
- 012 sa̋iko, 100 L., 26.5 gal.; 0.1 m.3, 23 gal. [> Old English sā, tub].
- 1 sa̋iko = 100 aga̋los
