Five-quarter Sihr

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The five-quarter sihr was a weight for cotton and was different from the gold sihr or seer. The measure corresponded to 1 ¼ Sihr, which led to the naming. The measure was used in Masulipatam , a city in the British Presidency of Madras on the coast of Coromandel in India.

1 five-quarter Sihr = 96 Madras pagodas = 12 ounces (avdp.) = 340.193 grams
1 five-quarter Sihr = Jäbbolömm = ½ Pöddalömm / Puddalum
640 five-quarter Sihr = 1 candy = 20 Maunds / Mahnds
