Almuda
The Almuda , also Almalde , was a measure of volume in Spain and Portugal . The term is derived from the Arabic al-mudd for liquids, which is accompanied by the measure of alqueire for dry goods (from the Arabic al-kail or al-kayl ). The size is defined differently from region to region, and the naming was quite different. In Mexico , Cadiz and Valencia the Almuda was common under the names Almuera and Celemine ; in Lisbon it was the Almonde .
