I am a measure of area
During ukemi practice on Monday, comments were made on how much of the mat I use to fall. At 6'5", I use quite a bit. Discussion ensued and it was determined that a mat needs to be long enough for me to do 3 forward rolls and wide enough to do 2 forward rolls. That square footage, whatever it is, was designated a zrubek.
A mat needs to be 1 zrubek in area plus 1/2 a zrubek in area surrounding the main mat for a "splash zone".

as far as being named a unit of area, congrats! when I was in grad school, some of my dojo mates created a new unit of time - the Pat. They defined it to be 26 years because I was just about the oldest guy they'd ever met. So, they were about 0.7Pat years old.
