I will not attempt to challenge your knowledge of Egyptian 
measurement, but I think Kanga's use of "khat" in this thread 
might have been a simple typo. The word he quoted immediately 
before his typing "khat" was "khet". I took "khat" as a typo, and 
read the rest of his post. It scanned, as well as anything Kanga 
writes scans, fine taking his "khat" to mean "khet".

But again, I have not followed this thread in the detail as have 
you and Jack, so I don't offer this as anything but a possibility 
that may, if correct, help solve a minor mystery.

And hear their death-knell ringing;
When friends rejoice, both far and near,
How can I keep from singing.
