Entry: saktɨm
Grammar: n.
Meaning: cubit, the part of the arm from the elbow up to and including the hand.
Entry: saktɨmtha:p
Grammar: n.
Meaning: cubit as a unit of measure. Although the Dumi cubit is equivalent in length to the western cubit, provided the same individual is doing the measuring, the techniques of measuring the Dumi and the western cubit are different: Whereas the western cubit is traditionally taken as the distance between a person's elbow and the tip of the middle finger, the Dumi cubit is measured with a balled fist and is taken as the distance from the elbow to the fist which, held face-down on the surface being measured, is subsequently rolled over up to the metacarpo-phalangeal joints, the large knuckles of the hand.
