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 | The ilāti is divided in two units: the first division is called ''camelīṃṣah'' (pl.

The current ilāti (CHI) was formally introduced in 6378 (3836<sub>12</sub>) replacing the former Ilāti of the Union of the Purified States (IKAi; ''ekailai ṣarivāṇumi mālyāvi ilāti''), which was however already colloquially known as Chlouvānem Ilāti and, as 1 CHI equalled 1 IKAi and the old coins and banknotes kept being legal tender for a few years, this was not perceived as a real change in the Inquisition. | The current ilāti (CHI) was formally introduced in 6378 (3836<sub>12</sub>) replacing the former Ilāti of the Union of the Purified States (IKAi; ''ekailai ṣarivāṇumi mālyāvi ilāti''), which was however already colloquially known as Chlouvānem Ilāti and, as 1 CHI equalled 1 IKAi and the old coins and banknotes kept being legal tender for a few years, this was not perceived as a real change in the Inquisition. |
