Why is there a gismu for weight, but none for height,
length, size, age, speed, beauty, and so many other
names of properties.
I don't recall whether it is because JCB had one (it was not one of his core gismu, though it may have been one of those he added then forgot about after the Lojban split) or whether it was added because it was a property measured by a fundamental SI unit. Or maybe some other reason that I could find if I combed the paper archives....
