While this system was a lot of fun to come up with, it is not useful.  Dagostinia uses the SI system as well as some extra measurements as noted on the new weights and measures page.

Length:

• • 1 pin = 1/12 digi ~ 1/10 inch

  • 1 digi ~ 1.25 inch

  • 1 pid = 12 digi ~ 1 foot, 3 inches

  • 1 mon = 5 pid = 60 digi ~ 6 feet, 3 inches

    • (This is derived and standardized from the official height of the Monarch in US units)

  • 1 span = 144 digi = 12 pid ~ 15 feet

  • 1 throw = 3600 digi = 60 mon ~ 375 feet

    • (Length is commonly noted in pid, digi format using slash / and dash -.  Therefore, someone who measures US 5'-4" tall would measure 4/3-.  A 55' length would measure 40/4-)

  • 1 stadia = 12 throws ~ 4500 feet

Area:

• • 1 dot = 1 square digi ~ 1.56 square inches

  • 1 sit = 1 square pid = 144 dot ~225 square inches ~ 1.56 square feet

  • 1 plot = 1 square mon = 25 sit = 3600 dot ~ 39 square feet

  • 1 hold = 1 square span = 144 sit ~ 225 square feet

Volume:

• • 1 block = 1 cubic digi ~ 1.95 cubic inches

    • (This number is precisely 1.953125)

  • 1 case = 1728 block = 1 cubic pid ~ 1.95 cubic feet ~ 14.6 gallons

  • 1 cell = 125 case = 1 cubic mon ~ 244 cubic feet

Liquid:

• 1 unzia = 1 block ~ 1.08 liquid ounces ~ 2.16 tablespoons

  • (Exactly 1.082251 derived from the formula 128 / 231 x 1.253)

• 1 glass = 12 unzia ~ 13 liquid ounces

• 1 jug =  60 unzia ~ 64.94 liquid ounces ~ 1/2 US gallon

• 1 bucket = 360 unzia = 6 jugs ~ 390 liquid ounces ~ 3 US gallons

  • 1 case = 1728 unzia ~ 1596.672 ounces ~ 26.6112 jugs

  • (In reality, only about 24 jugs will fit a case given the small volume of the containers)

• 1 bell = 60 jugs ~ 3896 liquid ounces ~ 30.44 gallons

Weight:

• • 1 seed ~.37 US ounce ~ 10.5 grams

  • 1 pebble = 12 seeds ~ 4.44 ounces ~ 126 grams

  • 1 rock = 12 pebble ~ 3.33 pounds ~ 1.5 kilograms

  • 1 stone = 60 pebble ~ 16.66 pounds ~7.5 kilograms

  • 1 haul = 12 rocks = 40 pounds

  • 1 mark = 60 rocks = 200 pounds

    •  (This is derived and standardized from the official weight of the Monarch in US pounds)

Money:

• • 1 min ~ US$0.121

  • 1 wage = 60 min = US$7.25

  • 1 deni = 8 wage = US$58

Time:

• • 1 chore = 10 minutes

  • 6 chores = 1 hour

  • 24 hours = 1 day

  • 7 days = 1 week

  • 13 weeks = 1 season

  • 52 weeks = 1 year

    • (Dagostinia recognizes the 7-day week as sacred but only utilizes the month system for convenience with other systems)

  • 62 years = 1 cycle

    • See the calendar for more detail

Numbers:

• • 1 phal = 1 unit

  • 12 units = 1 dozen or 1 hand

  • 12 dozen = 1 gross = 144 units

  • 12 gross = 1 great gross or 1 mass = 1728 units

  • 12 mass = 1 vence = 20,736 units, generally meaning 20,000
