      etc., as among mechanics. It was also formerly divided
      into twelve parts, called lines, and originally into three

      been determined from three grains of barley placed end to
      end lengthwise. It is also sometimes called a prime ('),
      composed of twelve seconds (''), as in the duodecimal
      system of arithmetic.

         interpreted as "seconds".
