         DefinitionShort: a unit of measurement, either of length or volume

         Glosses: measure

         Comments: Some languages do not have a generic term for ‘measure,’ but they may express the concept by a phrase meaning ‘how one knows how big something is’ or ‘… how long something is.’ In other words, it is necessary to use expressions involving specific dimensions.
