L1) distance from the margo proximalis lateralis to the lateral cartilago physialis; D1) distance from margo proximalis lateralis to the medial cartilago physialis; L2) distance from the margo proximalis lateralis to the margo abaxialis of the lateral caput; D2) distance from the margo proximalis lateralis to the margo abaxialis of the medial caput; X1) distance from the cartilago physialis lateralis to the margo abaxialis of the lateral caput; X2) distance from the cartilago physialis medialis to the margo distalis of the caput ridge; and X3) distance from the margo axialis of the cartilago physialis axialis to the margo axialis of the lateral caput
