> Definition: measure

st.k (10/22/97):  refers to the action of somebody who is taking a measurement

FYI the "measurement verbs":

juch 		have a width of (v)
Saw' 		have a depth of (v)
'ab		have a length of (v)
'aD 		have a length of (v)
muq 		have a volume of (v)
ngI' 		have a weight of, weigh (v)


  naQjej vIjuv 
  I measure the spear (st.k)

vs.

  wej 'uj 'ab naQjej 
  the spear has a length of three *uj*
  the spear measures three *uj*
  the spear is three *uj* long  (st.k)

Is there any measuring in the paq'batlh?
