I think we should drop the direction place of "mitre" and the subunit places.
I have no idea what to put in a subunit place,

I'm pretty sure it's there to be an identifier: {gutci fo la.intc.} (feet) vs. {gutci fo lo degji} (cubit).

It's seems a circumspect way to do so to me, though, and I'm just guessing.

If that is indeed the intention, I agree that that place is pointless and should be dropped, possibly replacing it with a me'e place. (In the x2, pushing the rest one down?)


  No, it's a numeric, such as mi li mu lo merko  li pano --> I am 5'10"  It appears at the end to not break the consistency (such as it is) with other measurment gismu.
