About this conversion
Elias Lonnrot's Kalevala gives no meters, but tradition points to hero-scale singers and one true giant: Vainamoinen's pike-jaw Kantele at about 1.00m, Ilmarinen's Sampo mill at about 2.00m, Mistress Louhi at about 1.75m, sage Vainamoinen at about 1.85m and long-dead giant Antero Vipunen — who swallowed Vainamoinen whole — at about 12.00m.
These heights are fan-compiled mythic averages from the Kalevala via the Finnish Literature Society's Kalevalaseura (which confirms Vipunen as a giant) and Wikipedia, like our Greek converter. 1 Vipunen = 6.49x Vainamoinen (12/1.85), 1 Sampo = 2.00x the Kantele, making this converter a handy reference for lore debates, art scaling and everyday curiosity.
Units supported: Meters, feet, and Kalevala heights (Kantele 1.00m, Sampo 2.00m, Louhi 1.75m, Vainamoinen 1.85m, Vipunen 12.00m).
Source note: Heights are fan-compiled mythic averages from the Kalevala (no official meters) — Vipunen confirmed giant via Kalevalaseura (Finnish Literature Society).
