About finger and hand
Finger: A finger (cloth measure) is 4.5 inches — 1/8 of a yard, 11.43 cm. It is NOT the same as a fingerbreadth/digit (about ¾ inch).
Hand: A hand is exactly 4 inches (0.1016 m) — the standard unit for the height of horses.
The metric units (km, m, cm, mm, µm) are exact by definition, and the imperial units (mile, yard, foot, inch, nautical mile) use their exact international values. Traditional units (hand, span, finger, cubit, rod/pole, link, rope, ken, league) are given at their commonly accepted standard sizes — historical local values sometimes differed, so confirm against a primary source before relying on them for legal or historical work.
