What does MIKRA mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A plural form of mikron, an old spelling of micron, a unit of length equal to one millionth of a metre.
Mikra belongs to older scientific writing that used the Greek-derived spelling mikron before micron became standard, and its plural followed the Greek pattern rather than a plain English one. Modern measurement now uses the SI unit micrometre for the same length, so mikra survives chiefly in older technical texts and word lists.
