A Guide to Eorzean

[byheartandblade]

[ Syhr'd been fortunate enough to Echo the information correctly enough to infer, she believes. So she's going to do this for others there. ]

Eorzea is my world. So I figured I'd give a quick guide so you lot can understand what's being said.

Ilm seems to translate to inch.
Fulm would be foot.
Yalm is yard.
Malm is mile.

We use bells, not hours.

Our year is about three hundred eight-four suns.
Suns are days.
Moons are months.
An epoch is a measurement of twelve years, as opposed to a decade.

We say nameday instead of birthday.

Onze instead of ounce.
Ponze instead of pound.
Tonze instead of ton.

I can answer any questions you have, if you have them.

Let me guess - their measurements are more common then ours, as well? I already dislike this concept.

Actually, there is another common measurement system on Earth, but it doesn't translate as precisely to the other measurements mentioned above as the writer claims the Imperial units do.

[betterthangarlond]

It's named Imperial units.

And what may this other method of measurement be?

[angel_of_death]

The metric system.
