Poronkusemapo-ron-ku-se-ma

n. The distance a reindeer can comfortably travel before taking a break. This may seem like a very imprecise and rather unpredictable way to measure distance, but actually it's pretty widely acknowledged (in reindeer circles at least) that a poronkusema is around 4.7 miles/7.3 kilometres.
