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. Nevertheless, due to their ease 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= a closed handful of whatever produce (such as dates) is being weighed. 6 tefs equals one "tefa."
- 1 TEFA= 6 tefs (or closed handfuls), or roughly the amount of merchandise it would take to fill a small basket.
- 1 HUDA= 5 tefa, or small baskets full.
