Example: Xe’salan meteru mje se kehim.
(1S-am-tall meter 1 7 tenth)
I am 1.7 meters tall
Well, this word behaves pretty much in the same way as ‘hiskiu, of yesterday. It is also used in the word for mountain, but this is just beause the term which means something like ‘high land’ was used untranslatedly from majuvedian languages. The word ‘esda exists as well and is partly synonymous. ‘esda has has a clearer vertical connotation while salan can also mean impressive or high. Salan[‘tan] and then X means ‘the size of X’ even though the correct form would require a possessive ‘mi[n] as well. However usage tends to leave it out.
