I am planning to document a system of measurment for the next turn. I will put some story around the system. The outline follows:

The Rules of Distance

• 1 lele = 1000 unanit
• 1 unanit = 10 nanit
• 1 nanit = 10 inanit
• 1 inanit = 10 kinanit
• 1 lele = 1000 unanit = 10,000 nanit = 100,000 inanit = 1,000,000 kinanit

The Rules of Mass

• A cube of water 1 nanit x 1 nanit x 1 nanit will have a mass of 1000 gyup
• A cube of water 1 inanit x 1 inanit x 1 inanit will have a mass of 1 gyup
• 1000 gyup = 1 lugyup

The Rules of Volume

• A cube measuring 1 nanit x 1 nanit x 1 nanit will have a volume of 1 wurp
• A cube measuring 1 unanit x 1 unanit x 1 unanit will have a volume of 1,000 wurp. 1,000 wurp of water will have a mass of 1,000,000 gyup or 1,000 lugyup

The Rules of Temperature

• Water will freeze at 0 Yip.
• Water will boil at 100 Yip.

This rule is subject to change depending on location. Scholars have noted that this is not constant but varies. It is true when at the coast, but will change in the mountains. The reason behind this inconsistency is unclear.

The Rules of Prefixes

Multiplier	Prefix
X1000	lu
X100	ku
X10	u
X10-1	i
X10-2	ki
X10-3	li

I was thinking of doing the same thing, but with utterly undecimalised systems (figured it would be more fun that way) -- Talliesin 18:11, 15 Sep 2004 (EDT)

Just MHO, but decimal systems are so Earth. So, yeah, I agree, a non-decimal system would be a lot more fun --DrBacchus 18:36, 15 Sep 2004 (EDT)

My first thought was to try and do it that way - more than happy to make it more interesting. Especially as it will help with the story. Revisions are being drafted now :) --Dok 20:17 15 Sep 2004
