After reading the Essay by Robin that Jorge pointed out in the {la.alis.}  thread, I have to say that I like the proposal made therein. On the basis that many of us will be reading the essay now that we know of it's existence, and that most of us will like the idea, I move that we vote to correct minli as per goal #1 (internal consistency) of Robin's proposal.

For those that are not aware:

bunda x1 is x2 non-metric weight units in standard x3 with subunits x4

dekpu x1 is x2 non-metric volume units in standard x3 with subunits x4

gutci  x1 is x2 non-metric short distance units in standard x3 with subunits x4

kramu x1 is x2 non-metric area units in standard x3 with subunits x4

minli   x1 is x2 non-metric long distance units with subunits x3 in standard x4

In relation to the other non-metric measurement gismu, minli is te ve te (the x3 and x4 are reversed in respect to the others.)

All in favour of changing the definition of minli from

x1 is x2 non-metric long distance units with subunits x3 in standard x4

to

x1 is x2 non-metric long distance units in standard x3 with subunits x4

?

And, continuing in the spirit of the proposal, does anyone else have an issue they feel needs to be addressed?
