Die europäischen Sprachen [Cu. 563] zeigen ein 1, was, wie vieles andere, auf eine verschiedene Aussprache des westlichen und östlichen Zweiges des indogermanischen Urvolkes hinweist.

Aratni. — This word, which primarily means ‘elbow,’ occurs

frequently from the Rigveda¹ onwards as denoting a measure of

length (‘ell’ or ‘cubit’), the distance from the elbow to the tip

of the hand. The exact length nowhere appears from the early

texts. [Footnote] 1) Rv. viii. 80, 8; Av. xix. 57, 6;

Aitareya Brāhmaṇa, viii. 5; Śatapatha

Brāhmaṇa, vi. 3, 1, 33, etc. For

Rv. viii. 80, 8, see also Āji.

Aratni — a measurement of length equal to a cubit.
