Lojban

Etymology

• From centi (hundred) + mitre (metre; unit of length).

Brivla

centre

1. m1=c1 is m2=c2 centimeter(s) / hundredth(s) of a meter [metric unit] in length (default 1) measured in direction m3=c3 by standard x4=m3.

Usage notes

• The Lojban word centre resembles the English one in spelling (but not pronunciation), and is therefore a false friend. Instead, the latter term translates to the gismu midju.
