Unit Definition (arpent [Canada])
The Arpent is a traditional unit of distance in French-speaking nations. It was used as a land measurement, which is the reason for 'Arpentage' becoming the French word for surveying.

Unit Definition (palmo [Spanish])
The palmo is a traditional unit of distance in Spain and Portugal. The traditional Spanish palmo equals 9 pulgadas or 1/4 vara: this is about 20.9 centimeters in Spain and a little more than that in Spanish Latin America. Under the metric system in Spain, the palmo is an informal unit equal to 20 centimeters. These units are based on the width of a person's outstretched hand, from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the little finger, a definition identical to that of the English span.
