x1 is a thousand [1000; 1x10**3] of x2 in dimension/aspect x3 (default is units)

le dacti cu kilto cimei lo grake leni marji
The object is 1000 3-somes in grams in mass
(Note that people sometimes use grams as a weight measurement instead of a
mass measurement.)

For a length, the x3 might be the specific direction/dimension that the
length is measured.

le dacti cu kilto cimei lo mitre leni sraji clani
The object is 1000 3-somes in mitres in amount of vertical-length.

(but you might also use width or depth in the x3)
