GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:length
Malay translation:panjang

Tech/Engineering - Physics / Sound
English term or phrase: length
Context: The pitch of this sound can be altered by changing the vibrating length of the rod.

Pic bunyi ini boleh diubah dengan menukar panjang batang yang bergetar.

My question: Is there such a word as "kepanjangan"? I know we use ketinggian for height, but to me, kepanjangan sounds weird. But, the above translation is missing something. What do you think? Your opinion is highly appreciated.

Thank you

panjang
Explanation:
I think 'panjang' is fine for measurements, and so is 'tinggi'.
Tinggi, panjang, luas, berat, etc are not just adjectives but also nouns
