ranga

noun. yard, full pace

A Númenórean measure roughly equal to a single pace of an army on the march (UT/285). Its proper meaning is “a full pace”. Tolkien gave a rough translation of “yard”, but due to the longer Númenórean stride the actual length of a ranga is about 38 inches rather than the 36 inches of an English yard. Two rangar (6 foot 4 inches) was said to be the approximate height of a man of the Dúnedain, but they were considerably taller than most men of Middle-earth.
