Indeed, just as {gutci}'s subunit place allows one to say "my height is
five feet four" instead of "my height is five feet and four inches".
And note that {gucti} and {milni}, both of which have subunit places,
both measure length, but at different scales.  In this respect they
parallel {rupnu} and {fepni}.
