Dekameter

A dekameter (dam) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to 10 meters. It sits between a meter and a hectometer in size. Although it is an official part of the metric system, the dekameter is rarely used in everyday life, education, or even science. For example, a small swimming pool might be around 2 dekameters long. The symbol for dekameter is "dam". Since most people prefer using meters or kilometers, the dekameter is more of a theoretical unit used mainly for teaching the structure of the metric system.

Famn

A famn (also spelled fathom in English) is a traditional Scandinavian unit of length used primarily for measuring the depth of water or length of ropes and cables. It is roughly equivalent to 6 Swedish feet, which translates to about 1.828 meters (approximately 6 feet).

The famn is similar in concept to the English fathom, based on the span of outstretched arms.

While largely obsolete today, the famn was commonly used in maritime contexts in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark and remains part of historical measurements.
