I think the interval is what is wanted, the time equivalent of canlu:
"x1 is the duration, the time taken for x2 to happen". {selku'e} works,
but it is not only for time.
Are we talking about the interval, or the measure of that interval? Two 5-second intervals are not necessarily the same interval, but their measures are the same.
