Uniqueness of "measure"?

[Baofeng Ma]

"measure" appears in many places, for example:  3:33(3)    14:9    17:2    35:3    37:17.

Is there any uniqueness about using "measure" instead of the main motion or other terms that are commonly used in RONR ?

The word "measure" appears generally to be used to have a meaning equivalent to "motion." There does not appear to be any special meaning involved. If "measure" was replaced with "motion," I believe the meaning of the rules in question would be identical.

The words "question" and "measure" are often used in place of the word "motion" throughout RONR, although they sometimes have a different meaning.  3:33(3), 14:9, and 17:2 are instances in which all three of these words are used synonymously.  It is simply a matter of style and preference, which reminds me that "matter" is also sometimes used in place of "motion".  In no instance, however, does this give rise to any ambiguity.
