A byte is always 8 bits. The word you're looking for is `word-size` which, in this case would be 4 bits.

Are you trying to make a pun with byte/bite relating to nibble? Because that's actually where the term nibble (referring to 4 bits) comes from, so I'm not sure such a pun even counts as a pun anymore. Or am I misinterpreting your comment?
