Thank you both for helping fill my gap in number theory. "Sadly, we know very little of units of length smaller than one 'uj, but yes, there is confirmation of those measurements being expressed using decimals.

Sadly, we know very little of units of length smaller than one 'uj, but yes, there is confirmation of those measurements being expressed using decimals. In the link above, you'll find examples such as

Just to clarify what I wrote earlier: 2'3.1 and 2'3.2 would be how you write 1/3 and 1/3, respectively, in the 3-adic system. I had interpreted your original message to mean that you wanted to design a ruler using the ternary Klingon counting system. If you actually mean 1/10 and 2/10, then 0.1 and 0.2 is fine.
