Unit Definition (thou)
An inch is an Imperial unit of length. Sweden also briefly had a "decimal inch" based on the metric system: see below for more.

Unit Definition (palm [Dutch])
A palm, when used as a unit of length, is usually four digits or three inches, i.e. 7.62 cm (for the international inch). The width of an adult human male palm is indeed about 10 centimetres.In English this unit has mostly fallen out of use, as do others based on the human arm: digit (¼ palm), finger (7/24 palm), hand (4/3 palms), shaftment (2 palms), span (3 palms), cubit (6 palms) and ell (15 palms).
