How big is 1 unit in the mesh?

[Moraelin]

Simple question, how big is 1 unit in the mesh size, please? For example, if I make a blade whose tip is at y = 40.0 from the centre of the fist holding it, will that be 40 inch, 40 cm, or what? I know I had figured that one out in the FO3 days, but my memory isn't what it used to be...

I don't know whether "units are units" but the player is supposedly 125u tall? Which would make them something over 1cm but less then 1in. Which is either 1.5cm or 0.6in per unit, give or take 10%.

These are from the Oblivion wiki, but nothing's changed as far as measurement goes. I thought there was more information on this, maybe it was on another site, but I can't seem to find it now.
