its defining or root foot

English to French Science Metrology
Texte sur les sites mégalithiques, théorie du yard mégalithique, l'unité de mesure qui aurait servi à les construire

The Megalithic yard (2.72 feet/0.829 metres) is approximately the length of a human step, and two such lengths, the "fathom" measure approximately the outstreched span of the arms, or a human pace, a half-pace being metrologically a step, two and a half times of its defining or "root" foot.

Problème de formulation. Merci d'avance
