Väljunde

Väljunde is a unit of measurement used primarily in Finland and Sweden to indicate the depth of water. It is defined as one-tenth of a tuhatannus, which itself is a unit of length. The conversion rate for väljunde is 1 tuhatannus = 60 repentų.

In practical terms, a väljunde is equivalent to 1/36 of a Swedish or Finnish linear-mile. This measurement was especially relevant in historical times when boats and ships were a primary form of transportation.

The term 'väljunde' originates from the Finnish words 'valja' meaning 'ford' or 'deep place in a river' and 'unde' which signifies 'a part' or 'apportionment'. This name likely references the historical use of this measurement in shallow bodies of water such as rivers and lakes where boats may need to navigate through allegedly 'fordable' sections.

It is essential to understand that measurement of depth this precise rarely appears in written historical accounts. Measurement varied wildly among ancient sources so precision to this extent could not be assumed. This variance accompanied the qualitative descriptions imprecision indicating further directly the entrance to rivers further thus others become grooves detected disputesiflower divided communitiesliving disconnected.

In contemporary times, while väljunde is technically not a current standard unit of measurement, it remains in use among some sailors and boat operators in Finland and Sweden. The usability of varying measurements creates further inconsistencies in practice.
