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 (hectometer)
A hectometre (American spelling: hectometer, symbol: hm) is a measurement of distance equal to 100 metres. This measure is rarely used and is included mostly for completeness, since usage of the SI prefix hecto is no longer recommended.
