The ilāti is divided in two units: the first division is called ''camelīṃṣah'' (pl. ''camelīṃṣai''; abbr. '''c''' - from ''cami'' "grand" and Lällshag ''egynce'' "tenth part") and the second is called ''nagyuṣis'' (pl. ''nagyuṣais''; abbr. '''n''' - from Lällshag ''nahuci'' "it is cut down").

As any other Chlouvānem measurement, the ilāti is not decimal but duodecimal: one ilāti equals to 16 (18<sub>10</sub>) camelīṃṣai, and one camelīṃṣah is equal to 20 (24<sub>10</sub>) nagyuṣais; thus there are 300 (432<sub>10</sub>) nagyuṣais in one ilāti.<br/>There are a few unofficial subdivisions, such as the ''komalunda'' (Lällshag ''kåmågunda'' "snail shell") or ''māmina'' (from ''māmei'' 10<sub>12</sub>), equal to 10 (12<sub>10</sub>) camelīṃṣai, or ⅔ of a ilāti. | ||
