Huda
A unit of measure equal to 5 tefa.

Pasang

Tef
A unit of measure consisting of a handful of whatever produce { such as dates } is being weighed.6 tefs are equal to one tefa.

Tefa
A unit of measure equal to 6 tefs,5 tefas are equal to 1 huda.A tefa is also equal to a small basket.

Weight

{ An ah-il is the distance from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger,analogous to the Earth "cubit".It is typically standardized in Gorean measure as being 18 U.S. inches in length as described above.}

Solid Volume
The following measurements are "trade weights",meaning that they are,like the ah-il, variable according to the hand size of the measurer.Nonetheless,due to their eases of use,they are retained by the Goreans as practical ways to measure solid volume in a distributory environment,particularly in trade-based Gorean settings where standardized measurements are not available for handy measurement.

1 Tef is equal to a closed handful of whatever produce { such as dates } is being weighed.6 tefs is equal to one tefa.

1 Tefa is equal to 6 tefs { or closed handfuls },or roughly the amount of merchandise it would take to fill a small basket.5 tefas is equal to 1 huda.
