WEIGHTS AND MEASURES

The term Edangali is often used instead of macleod seer, being the

ancient name of the Malabar measure.

According to Madras measure;

8 ollucks (alakku) = 1 paddee (padi) or measure

8 measures = l mercal (marakkal)

5 mercals = l parrah (parai)

3200 measures or 400 mercals = 1 Garce (garasai)

1 According to heaped measure;

2 Ayakoo = 1 Oikoo

2 Oikoos = 1 Oori

2 Oori = 1 Nai or measure = 32 Tolas of rice heaped

4 Nai = l macleod seer= 33 1 bs

10 maclod seers = 1 parrah or maund = 33 lbs

The parrah varies from 6 l/2 to 12 seers. The Ernad Parrah is about 32 lbs,

and the term is sometimes confounded with the maund weight.

In Palaghat 12 parrahs = 80 macleod seers

In ponnany 6 1/4 macleod seers = 1 Vadapen

In cochin 15 macleod seers = l parrah

In some places 6 Nais = l Tooni; in other 8 Nais
