If you meant "an animal one meter long", that's "danlu poi mitre li pa le ka clani". By the way, x3 of "mitre" is the dimension, whereas x3 of "gutci" is the standard, x4 is an inch, and there is no place for dimension. So how do you say that something is one foot long? On top of that, for "minli", x3 is the subunit and x4 is the standard! phma
