Nybble

[Sarah]

A nybble, sometimes spelled nibble, is a set of four bits. Since there are eight bits in a byte, a nybble is half of one byte. While it may take the average person several nibbles to equal one bite of a cookie, in the computer world, two nybbles always equal one byte.
The four bits in a nibble allow it to have 16 possible values, which is the same as one hexadecimal digit. Therefore, a nybble is sometimes referred to as a hex digit. In data communications, nybbles are sometimes called quadbits, because of the four bits that make up each nybble.

[Har har], computer programmers have a sense of humor. It stands to reason that anything less than a [byte] would be a nybble.
n.
Half of a byte or 4 bits. Used to [conserve] space for anything using numbers 0-15.
Also spelled nibble though the original spelling was with a y.

[Sarah]

in computer [parlance], 4 bits or a mixture of 4 1s and 0s. Derived from [IBMs] term for 8 bits = 1 [byte]. A nybble is 1/2 byte

[Sonia]

nybble, or 4 bits, or 1 hexit:(all = 1 half a byte)
After a byte is a kilobyte wich is actually 1,024 bytes(2,048 nybbles).
And the list goes on in the aspect that each unit up equals 1,024 of the previous i.e. 1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte. This is the scale up to the highest measurement I know: bit, nybble, byte, kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, terabyte, petabyte, [exabyte], [zettabyte], [yottabyte], bronobyte, nisabyte, and zotzabyte.
