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.

Finger (Cloth)

A finger is a traditional, informal unit of length based on the width of a human finger. It was commonly used in tailoring and cloth measurement. The exact length varies but is generally considered to be about ¾ inch (approximately 1.9 centimeters).

The finger measurement helped tailors and fabric merchants make quick estimations of small lengths or widths of material before precise tools were common. It is one of several body-based units used historically in textiles, alongside the span, palm, and hand.

Though rarely used in modern measurement, the finger remains a part of historical measurement systems and illustrates how people relied on their bodies for everyday measuring tasks.
