"Ken" is an measure of distance between points in an extension or jump.

(I am not sure whether my definition is correct from a linguistical POV, however in Go-practice, it boils down to that. tderz)

ken is usually used to define the number of empty intersections in a straight line between stones of the same color on the Go board.
