More related words for things that can be measured:

'Iv   altitude (n)

?{'uytaHghach} pressure (n)

jen   be high (v)

What does anyone think of my suggested term for pressure? Naturally, I am
uncomfortable using {-ghach} but it seems to fit. If it's acceptable, I
think "thrust" (as caused by a reaction motor) would be ?{yuvtaHghach}, and
not a word based on {ghoS} or {jop}, which have to do with hand weapons. A
word for "measurement" might be ?{juvlI'ghach} for the practice of
measurement (-lI'- due to the deliberate nature of the activity) or maybe
better {juvwI' QeD} or {juvmeH QeD}.

I am stumped for a word for "measurement" meaning the quantity that is
recorded or displayed on a screen.
