Unit Definition (alen [Swedish])
The Swedish Alen is slightly shorter than the Scandinavian Alen. It is almost equal to 2 foot, or more precisely equal to 59.38 centimeters (23.38 inches).

Unit Definition (palm [US, Roman major])
A palm, when used as a unit of length, is usually four digits or three inches, i.e. 7.62 cm (for the international inch). The width of an adult human male palm is indeed about 10 centimetres.In English this unit has mostly fallen out of use, as do others based on the human arm: digit (¼ palm), finger (7/24 palm), hand (4/3 palms), shaftment (2 palms), span (3 palms), cubit (6 palms) and ell (15 palms).
