Dürt-Un-Ser

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Dürt-Un-Ser or Batman was a unit of mass (measure of weight) in Xiva (Khiwa old spelling) ( Uzbekistan ).

It was a weight for a Kyrgyz camel load. Dürt-Un-Ser or 16 Batman / Man / Mahnd / Maund was charged to the animal.

  • 1 Dürt-Un-Ser = 40 Ser = 19.6565 kilograms
  • 1 Dürt-Un (-Ser) (the forties = 40 Ser) = 4 Un-Ser (ten times Ser or ounces ) = 8 Kyrk-Ar = 16 Dschigirmä-Ar = 32 Un-Ar (ten times Ar) = 40 Ser = 64 bish-ar = 320 ar

The weight for an ar was based on that of the Russian five-kopeck piece made of copper.
