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 pè is given as “Pè 12 polleg. ou palmo ½”; it should be “palmo 1½”.
