(me scuttling around to find something to measure with...)

Jus' curious... |

15.75" = my cubit
Don't what that means, but that's my data. I'm a relatively small adult female, height = just slightly under 5' 3" (like 1/16" under the 5'3" mark).
So what does this signify?...just curious.
Guess I might add: I am normally proportioned with a petite/normal build. I'm told I'm slightly long-legged for my height, but otherwise normal/small.

| the equation doesn't work well for me, as it says that my height is approximately 150 cm when my height is closer to 170 cm. |

The cubit was actually variable and determined in advance for specific projects so in effect each construction project be it a building or a boat had a cubit just for it's exclusive use. Each specific cubit was carved into a 'storyboard' and considered a sacred object. In general it was around 18 U.S. Inches but that is a modern determination.
