Long Cubit

The long cubit is an ancient unit of length that is a variation of the standard cubit, measuring from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. The long cubit is longer than the common cubit, typically about 21 inches (approximately 53 centimeters).

Yard

A yard is a unit of length used mainly in the United States, the United Kingdom, and some other countries. One yard equals 3 feet or 36 inches, which is about 0.91 meters. Yards are often used to measure things like fabric, sports fields, or short distances. For example, an American football field is 100 yards long. The abbreviation for yard is "yd". While the metric system is widely used worldwide, yards are still common in everyday life and certain industries in countries that use the imperial system.
