Aln


An aln is an old Scandinavian unit of length traditionally used in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, mainly for measuring cloth and textiles. It is roughly equivalent to 59.4 centimeters (about 23.4 inches), though the exact length varied by region and time period.


The aln was based on the length of the forearm, similar to the cubit in other cultures, and was commonly used by tailors and merchants.


Though obsolete today, the aln reflects historical measurement practices tied to the human body and remains of interest in historical and cultural studies of Scandinavia.

  • Traditional Scandinavian unit based on the forearm length

Vara Conuquera


The vara conuquera is a traditional Spanish unit of length used historically in some parts of Spain and Spanish America, especially in land measurement. It is a regional variation of the vara, which generally measures around 33 inches (about 0.84 meters), but the vara conuquera specifically is associated with the unit used for measuring conucosβ€”small agricultural plots or gardens.


The length of the vara conuquera could vary locally but was typically similar to or a fraction of the standard vara. It was used primarily in rural land surveying and agriculture to define plots and land boundaries.


Summary:



  • Vara conuquera: a regional variant of the vara



  • Approximately 0.83 to 0.84 meters (varied by region)



  • Used historically for measuring small agricultural plots (conucos)



  • Common in Spanish and Latin American land measurement contexts



Today, the vara conuquera is mostly of historical interest, reflecting old land measurement traditions.
