bahar
English
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Egyptian Arabic بهار (bahār) or other dialects, Arabic بُهَار (buhār).
Noun
[edit]bahar (plural bahars)
- (historical) A weight used in the 18th and 19th century in the Middle East and the East Indies, of no single standard but rather of varying sizes sometimes termed little bahars and great bahars.
- 30 bahars of ivory
- bahars of nutmeg
Usage notes
[edit]According to Webster's 1913 dictionary, the weight varied from about 223 to 625 pounds.[1] However, according to a 1764 book by John Harris, it was 115 pounds avoirdupois.[2] According to the 1739 publication The Negociator's Magazine, in Sumatra it was 200 cattees[3] (standardized as 100 kg). The weight therefore seems to have differed per region, or even per product.
