The covado is used only for cloth.
The source for the metric equivalents, except for the grão,
dedo and the
passo, is an official publication,
Mappas das Medidas do Novo Systema Legal comparadas com as Antigas nos
Diversos Concelhos do Reino e Ilhas.
Lisbon: Imprensa Nacional, 1868.
Page 298. There is one error in this source: the pé is given as “Pé
12 polleg. ou palmo ½”; it should be “palmo 1½”.
