The four units of linear measure I know of are:
{'uj} *uj* (unit of measure, about 35 cm.)
{'uj'a'} (unit of measure, about 3.15 m.)
{qelI'qam} *kellicam* (unit of measure roughly equal to 2 km. [STE])
{loghqam} (unit of measure, 1.25 light years)
Only one unit of volume is known:
{tlho'ren} (unit of volume "in the quart/liter range")

FYI DloraH has a web page comparing {'ujmey} to centimeters and inches at
