bahar
English
editEtymology
editFrom Egyptian Arabic بهار (bahār) or other dialects, Arabic بُهَار (buhār).
Noun
editbahar (plural bahars)
- (historical) A weight used in the 18th and 19th century in the Middle East and the East Indies. yThere used to be little bahars and great bahars, but there was no single standard weight.
- 30 bahars of ivory
- bahars of nutmeg
Usage notes
editAccording 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.
