    I have to make a confession. I couldn't make out the picture and still
    can't! But given that it was a unit, I resorted to what I like to think
    of as... creativity...

    $ grep '^[feywjarq]\{4\} ' /usr/share/units/definitions.units

    ..using the given alphabet in a character class. grep succeeded where
    my imagination failed. A clue about the picture would be welcome?

    To be honest, as soon as I saw your... er, workaround;
    I couldn't stop myself from dissolving into a laughing mess.

    I wasn't expecting that this kind of trick actually worked.
    Anyway...

    A clue about the picture would be welcome?

    Well, what you are seeing is a tear-off day calendar hanging on a wall.
    The first sheet of the (unused-yet) calendar on the top
    is showing this text:

    1
    Jan

    The bottom fallen torn-off sheet is also a day-calendar sheet;
    belonging to the last year's calendar that's [just used to]
    hang in front of the above calendar. This bottom sheet
    is showing this text:

    31
    Dec

    ^ The "D" letter got obscured by the curving bottom-left corner
    of the sheet.

    My intention was to show a transition from Dec, 31st to Jan, 1st;
    signifying that a full //LRNE// have passed.

    Hope this clears things up for you. I would guess the reason of
    being confused was that you have never used (or not familiar with)
    day calender? I think it is not exactly a common stationery item nowadays.

    Ohh I see it now, thank you.

    No, I just couldn't make out the picture. My lack of perception, for
    sure.
