Tionsmått

Tionsmått is a term that does not correspond to any widely recognized unit of measurement in Swedish metrology. The compound appears to be a neologism formed from mått (measure) with a prefix-like element that resembles tion, but there is no official definition or standard conversion attached to it. In contemporary sources, tionsmått does not appear in national or international catalogs of units, and its use is typically limited to speculative writings, linguistic discussions about neologisms, or fictional contexts.

Possible interpretations include: a hypothetical tenfold base-unit measure used in thought experiments about scaling; a placeholder name for an arbitrary unit in examples; or a fictional unit in literature, games, or design briefs. In such contexts, the exact value or base unit would be defined within the work or discussion.

Because there is no standard, tionsmått is not directly convertible to established units like meter or liter without the author specifying a base unit and the tenfold factor. When used in technical prose, it should be accompanied by a clear definition of the base unit and the scaling factor.
