Unit Definition (spat)
The spat is an informal unit of distance formerly used by astronomers. The spat is equal to the terameter (Tm, or 10E12 meters). This is equivalent to about 6.6846 astronomical units. The origin of this usage is not clear; "spat" may be an acronym for "space unit" or "space-time".

Unit Definition (rute [Germany])
The rute is a traditional German unit of distance corresponding to the English rod. In fact, "rute" is the German word for rod. The rute had varying lengths, as short as 10 fuss (German feet) and as long as 16 fuss. This could be anywhere from about 3 meters to 4.5 meters.
