Unit Definition (palmo [Portuguese])
The palmo is a traditional unit of distance in Spain and Portugal. The Portuguese palmo equals 0.1 braça or about 22.0 centimeters (8.66 inches). 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.

Unit Definition (alen [Danish])
The Danish Alen (also used in Norway) is slightly longer than the Scandinavian Alen. It is just longer than two feet and more precisely equal to 62.77 centimeters (24.71 inches).
