WHAT DOES ELLWAND MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ell

An ell is a unit of measurement, originally a cubit, i.e., approximating the length of a man's arm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, or about 18 inches; in later usage, any of several longer units. In English-speaking countries, these included the Flemish ell, English ell and French ell, some of which are thought to derive from a "double ell". Several national forms existed, with different lengths, including the Scottish ell, the Flemish ell , the French ell the Polish ell, the Danish ell, the Swedish aln and the German ell Select customs were observed by English importers of Dutch textiles: although all cloths were bought by the Flemish ell, linen was sold by the English ell, but tapestry was sold by the Flemish ell. In England, the ell was usually 45 in, or a yard and a quarter. It was mainly used in the tailoring business but is now obsolete. Although the exact length was never defined in English law, standards were kept; the brass ell examined at the Exchequer by Graham in the 1740s had been in use "since the time of Queen Elizabeth". The Viking ell was the measure from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, about 18 inches.
