{clakurfa} is a lujvo from {clani kurfa}. Length and height are a bit 
problematic, since the Lojban words for dimensions {clani ce'o ganra ce'o 
rotsu} are in order of magnitude, irrespective of orientation. I think there 
ought to be a set of words for dimensions by orientation.

Translate the sentence and let us look at it.
