an Entity in Data Space: 134.155.108.49:8890

The lengths of these units varied from place to place. Cardarelli gives an equivalence of 0.2830594 m for the voet in Amsterdam and that value is used in the table below. Note that Cardarelli writes "lyne" rather than "lijne" but the latter seems to be the correct spelling. He also writes "voeten" (which is, apparently, actually the plural form) rather than "voet" (and similarly, "duime" rather than "duim", and "roeden" rather than "roede") and that there were 12 duime in the Amsterdam voet, while the Wikipedia article states that there were 11. The following table shows, according to Wikipedia, the relationships among the units in various localities:
