Span
From Guild of Archivists
A span (shahfee) is a basic D'ni unit of linear measurement. If you create a pendulum in the D'ni Cavern with a period of 5 prorahntee, twice the length of that pendulum is 5 spans.
Conversions[edit | edit source]
One span is equal to:
- 15.8 feet
- 4.82 meters
Notes[edit | edit source]
The Book of Ti'ana contains rough estimates for the length of a span, but they are inconsistent and overall inaccurate.

The KI in Uru uses a distance of 16 feet for one span because it is a simple multiple of Plasma’s underlying foot-based measurement system.
