Hi,

I am feeling a bit confused about the place structure of gismu for units,
such as {mitre}, {cacra}, etc.

I used to fill their x2 with a number, like {li papimu}, "1.5". However, reading
the simplified gismu list, I see, e.g.,
"
[lo se mitre]	a number of metres
"

Does that imply that {lo se mitre} refers to something like "1.5m"? Or
is it really
just a plain number? For example, can I say things like
  {ko'a mitre li papimu}
  {ko'e cacra li papimu},
and, in that case, can I use {lo se mitre} and {lo se cacra} to mean
{li papimu}?
For instance, would the following make sense?
  {lo se mitre cu namcu}
  {lo se mitre cu mintu li papimu}
  {lo se mitre cu mintu lo se cacra}
  {ko'a mitre lo se cacra be ko'e}
