[center]Weight and Mass
1 Talu = 2 US gallons = 7.5 litres (approx)
1 Gorean stone = 4 US pounds = 1.8 kilograms (approx)
1 Gorean weight (10 stone) = 40 US pounds = 18.14 kg (approx)
A given tree, annually, yields between one and five Gorean
weights of fruit. A weight is some ten stone, or some forty
Earth pounds.
Tribesmen of Gor, page 37
I have calculated this from the Weight, a Gorean unit of
measurement based on the Stone, which is about four Earth
pounds. A
Weight is ten Stone.

The Gill measures liquids
In a matter of perhaps two or three seconds, it had drawn
perhaps a gill of liquid. Outlaw of Gor, page 34
Amounts
The tef = a fistful
The tefa = 6 tefs or tiny basket
The huda = 5 Tefa or 5 baskets
A handful with the five fingers closed, not open, is a tef. Six
such handfuls constitute a tefa, which is a tiny basket. Five
such
baskets constitute a huda. Tribesmen of Gor, page 46[/center]
