Talk:Span (unit)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I removed the following paragraph:

In Swahili, the analogue of span is unguru. It is the width from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the middle finger.

1 unguru 

~ 6 fungu'lu

~ 8 inches

~ 0.21 m

This is likely a hoax entry, see this slashdot post. I am currently contacting Swahili speakers. AxelBoldt 16:32, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
