Lenght
- Ah-il and Ah-rah

- Gorean Foot
"The Gorean foot is, in my estimation, just slightly longer than the Earth foot; based on the supposition that each of its ten Horts is roughly one and one-quarter inches long, I would give the Gorean foot a length of roughly twelve and one-half inches, Earth measure."
"Raiders of Gor" page 127
