Unit Definition (cana (canna, canne))
The ca?a (canna, canne) are traditional units of distance in Spain, Italy, and southern France, respectively. The ca?a varied in size, but it was most often defined as 8 palmos, which makes it the Mediterranean version of the fathom, equal to roughly 2 meters or 6.5 feet. In Italy a measuring stick is still called a canna metrica. The unit is sometimes translated to "rod" in English, but "fathom" is the proper choice.

Unit Definition (military pace [double time])
The length of a single step in marching (taken to be 30 inches for quick time or 36 inches for double time).
