Whatever it is, you're posting in English and the correct term is
'impedance'.

Bearn?
Dolty?
Those are words I'm not familiar with and aren't in my Webster's
College Dictionary.
Can you say what they mean?

Those two 'g's' need to be inserted into 'heiht' and 'weiht' like
so: 'height','weight'.
I notice your name in your email addy is 'lysdexia'. Are you
dyslexic?

But you're posting in English text, not phonics, and in English text
'impedanse' is a nonsense word.

Have you noticed zero physics content in this thread due to your inability/unwillingness to utilize the common language?
Or do you even care about that? It certainly appears that your sole aim is to provoke arguments over trivialities.

Depends on the context. Is 'heiht' an English word, an arbitrary token, a representation of a mathematical formula? Could be all three. I'll have to reread Beowulf; turns out my copy, however, has been translated into the modern English form.
It turns out it's also the name of a company somewhere in the Middle East, probably Saudi Arabia, specializing in electrical items.
"Weiht" is the name of a viewing profile on Channel NewsAsia. I'm getting no clearer indications.
In both cases Google suggested the modern English words.

:
height O.E. hiehþu, Anglian hehþo "highest part or point, summit," from root of heah "high" + -itha Gmc. abstract noun suffix (cf. O.N. hæð, O.H.G. hohida, Goth. hauhiþa "height"). The modern pronunciation with -t not established till 18c., and heighth is still colloquial.
weight O.E. gewiht, from P.Gmc. *(ga)wekhtiz, *(ga)wekhtjan (cf. O.N. vætt, O.Fris. wicht, M.Du. gewicht, Ger. Gewicht), from *weg- (see weigh). The verb meaning "to load with weight" is attested from 1747; sense in statistics is recorded from 1901. To lose weight "get thinner" is recorded from 1961. Weight Watcher as a trademark name dates from 1960. To pull one's weight (1921) is from rowing. Weighty "important, serious, grave" is from 1489.

You post as though you think you're talking.
You're not, and your efforts to punctuate text in a way that makes
you think the text will "sound right" when it's read do nothing but
confuse your audience and cause antagonism.

I didn't start that; Gisse, Fields, and Cain did.
The common scientific language is Latin. See the first post.
