- The new African measure of:

Length:

Tub = 2 cm → 1/2 Tub = 1 cm

Mehe = 25 Tub = 50 cm = 1/2 m → 2 Mehe = 1 m

Chennah = 100 Mehe = 50 m → 20 Chennah = 1 Km

Jere = 200 Chennah = 10 Km → 100 Jere = 1000 Km

Sathe = 1 Chennah² = 1/4 Hektar → 4 Sathe = 1 Hektar

Capacity: Weight:

Hine = 0,5 Liter → 2 Hine = 1 Liter Kwite = 10 Gramm = 1/10 Kwite = 1 Gram

Ajphe = 40 Hine = 20 Liter Tibn = 10 Kwite = 100 Gram = 10 Tibn = 1 Kilo

Che = 4 Ajphe = 80 Liter
