 * 3)  an English cubit
 * 1)  an English cubit

Usage notes
In current usage, mostly refers to the English cubit (= 45.7 cm). Dictionaries sometimes offer as an alternative translation. The length of an ell has varied in the course of time, but currently an English ell equals 2.5 cubits (= 114.3 cm), and is thus almost twice as long as the traditional Swedish/Finnish. A German (= 60 cm) is practically the same length as, which may be one source for the confusion. The Scots have their own ell (= 94.5 cm).
