• 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

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 kotas.
• 4 kőőtas squared = na̋a̋l miga̋a̋maþa kőőtas, four squared kotas.
• 1 ve̋nha = 1,000 a̋ldas = 5,000 kőőtas = 10,000 dőőuras = 40,000 ṡı̋das
