Yays
A new unit of measurement, the average height of a hand raised horizontally. | |
Now when you say something is "yay high" , it's absolute.
"The pony's about 1.4 yays high."

I thought that the arm raised would be related to a vote of 'yes' - perhaps expressed as a percentage or proportionality. |

Let's be a bit more specific. Is the Yay to be average total height of a person with their arm outstretched vertically? Or just the outstretched arm or outstretched hand? |

The version of the Bible which is in the metric
system seems to define a cubit as half a metre. |
