Foot
A foot (plural: feet) is a unit of length commonly used in the United States, the United Kingdom, and some other countries. One foot equals 12 inches or about 0.3048 meters. Feet are often used to measure height, room dimensions, and short distances. For example, a person might be 5 feet 8 inches tall. The abbreviation for foot is "ft". Although many countries use the metric system, feet remain popular in daily life and construction in countries using the imperial 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.
