Moohook

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Moohook was a measure of weight in the Sulu Archipelago . It was considered the smallest measure and belonged to the dimensional chain of the Peculs that stood at the beginning. This measure was 60.48 kilograms (in the canton and Singapore was 1 pecul / picul = 100 catti = 60.478 kilograms) and corresponded to the Chinese picul in size. Moohook itself was equal to the Chinese casch.

  • 1 Moohook = 0.0378 grams

The relationships of the measures in detail were

  • 10 Moohooks = 1 Chochack
  • 10 Chochacks = 1 Amma
  • 10 Ammas = 1 valley
  • 16 valleys = 1 catti
  • 5 catti = 1 boat boot
  • 10 Boodoots = 1 Lacksa
  • 2 Lacksas = 1 Pecul

The dimensional chain was

  • 1 Pecul = 2 Lacksas = 20 Boogoots = 100 Catti = 1600 Täls = 16,000 Ammans = 160,000 Chochacks = 1,600,000 Moohooks
