ᴺQ. !perranga n. “cubit” (Category: to Measure)

ᴺQ. !perranga, n. “cubit” [created by Helge Fauskanger, NQNT] (Category: to Measure)

A neologism for “cubit” coined by Helge Fauskanger for his Neo-Quenya New Testament (NQNT), a combination per- “half” and ranga “yard, pace”. Since a Númenórean ranga is about 38 inches long, half a ranga is about the length of a cubit (~18 inches).
