How to use the U: UDOMETER and UDON

How do you measure rain faill? With an UDOMETER. (Plural UDOMETERS).

What is the technical term for measuring rain? According to The Dictionary, it is UDOMETRY. And it is also pluralized UDOMETRIES. (I couldn't find it at www.dictionary.com, but, what can ya do?)

The word comes from the Latin/French. "Udus" is the Latin word for "damp."

And UDON - plural UDONS, is a Japanese noodle.
