I'm always torn on the subject of measurement systems, kinda like back when we were working out a time system. The urge to disconnect it from any real world measurements to preserve a sense of identity and authenticity is understandable, but man does it make it hard to use it for anything...

You can always use it, that's not the problem, but since we're in this real world, it just wouldn't be popular and the conversions would be, at least at first, a pain. But making one doesn't really seem to pose a problem as far as I can tell, and using them amongst yourself or other fellow Mandalorians or Mando'a speakers seems to be a way to immerse yourself further into this culture. Who knows, maybe Mandalorian culture will be on the rise sometime in the future.

Defending this further, what sets this apart from the time measurement system is that, as far as I can remember from what I have seen and read, it's more convoluted and more specific to planets within that rotational factor. Measurements like what I put out can be used on any planet and by anyone.

Here, two things I thought of. Maybe it's archaic or something.

'rh [Rr-eh] Suffix to place emphasis.
'Kar [Kar] From Ka'ra. A suffix placed at the end of names as deference of respect. Opposite of 'ika, basically.

[Augest Kayd]

Kottas - Predator (Archaic) - Contrary to popular belief, the modern 'Kadas' did not evolve from Kad+Bas, but rather Kot+Bas, where the language shift over time softened the sounds and the word was broken up in reverse.
Kakas - Coward (Archaic) / Prey - Before cowardliness was associated with Hutts, the word for coward was Kakas, which meant an animal that cowers. A person who was Kakas was not more than an animal. This word did not mean prey; there was no word for prey as there was an understanding of the natural order that did not place emphasis on the retreat of smaller animals in the face of danger. This word fell out of favor as the insult of choice for cowards, slowly taking on the meaning 'Prey' due to its etymological association with animals as well as its parallel meaning to coward.

[Augest Kayd]

Arastiga - Melancholy - Unlike "Aaray'kar'taylir", which is recognized as an extreme mind-oriented disease and therefore must be treated as a wound, Arastiga is treated more like a curse, hence the name. Melancholy is an imperfect but accurate translation. A constant unexplainable and burdensome state of fatigue and gloom yet does not prevent them from acting as they normally do: its weight is drawn out and wears one down through constant exposure rather than sheer depressive power.
Narinare/Narinareir - Function.

[Augest Kayd]

Dinutrik - Pity - Gifted sadness.
Trikapar - To Pity - To be sad for.
