There has to be a better way to say this than ''kurmitre''. Although it does somewhat work to describe the dimension of the unit at a right angle to itself, generalizing this idea would lead to words like ''kursnidu'', and the concept of a second at a right angle to another second doesn't work so nicely. Plus, even if it's justifiable, ''kurmitre'' certainly __looks__ malglico. How about {reltefmitre}? Maybe ''pitmitre'' for square meter, ''calmitre'' for cubic meter. ---- The most standard answer we have so far is __tretre__. Even __ctotrectotre__ was suggested for ''hectare''.
