Ancient unit of length, based on the forearm (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cubit

(Other definitions for cubit that I've seen before include "Measurement based on the length of the forearm" , "about eighteen inches" , "Elbow-to-finger measure" , "Biblical measure of length" , "Measure of length by which Noah's ark was described" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
