Re: [Goanet] Old-style measurements... paileo, kudov, khandi

2013-11-19 Thread Francis Borges

For you Rico,
Greetings.
This is of one of my findings.
The podd measures 1.024 litres according to the methods I have used.
It can be used to measure rice, solam, salt, dry fish  prawns.
Now, if it is plain water, it could be taken as 1 kg. Rice works out
to be roughly 0.75 kg. So also the weight of other items will vary.
I once checked out with the Legal Metrology officials so they could
move to leagalise it, but it found no favour with them.
There are also more measures; smaller ones like ginnati, onnati, etc
which are fractions of podd and monn which is a multiple of podd.
One good source of info and pictures is the dean's palace in Quepem town.

Recently, I came across a reference to a *khandi,* and was quite puzzled.
There are hardly any references online to this old style of calculating
paddy yields, field sizes and seed-inputs required for cultivation.

 Dear Goanetters,

 Goanet celebrates its 11th anniversary today -- August 25, 2006.  On
 behalf of the Goanet Admin team, I'd like to say thank you and
 congratulations for making this possible.

 Goanet had a humble beginning in 1994 with only 20 members.  Today, Goanet
 is *the* public forum of choice for Goans worldwide for addressing
 important issues.  Goanet is an interesting and vibrant forum with lots of
 different characters.  Goanet also has a great wealth of information in
 its archives. However, Goanet is much more than that -- it is a virtual
 community.  Whether you have made new friends on Goanet or rekindled old
 friendships Goanet has certainly been an important network in our
 community.  I hope that you will continue to support Goanet far into the
 future.

 The Goanet volunteers require special mention.  They work tirelessly and
 selflessly to keep Goanet running.  Moreover, they do a fantastic job. We
 owe them tremendous thanks.  They are:

 Frederick Noronha (Goa, India)
 Viviana Coelho (San Francisco, CA, USA)
 Bosco D'Mello (Toronto, Canada)
 Daisy Rodrigues (CA, USA)
 Michelle D'Souza (Boston, MA, USA)
 Christina Pinto (Australia)
 Deborah Santimano (Lahore, Pakistan)


 What does the future hold for Goanet?

 As you know, the Goanet mailing lists have been the mainstay of Goanet.
 We will continue to expand this network to reach Goans wherever they may
 be.  We will also continue to work towards improving the quality of the
 forum.


 We need your help to make Goanet grow.  There are two important ways all
 our members can help:

 1. Make a donation to Goanet.  Your donations will be used to solely to
 maintain Goanet operations.  Go to our website (http://www.goanet.org/)
 and make a donation using the Paypal link.

 2. Become a volunteer.  We're looking for volunteers to help expand our
 network.  You work will go a long way to supporting the community.


 Congratulations to Goanet on its 12th anniversary!

 Herman Carneiro
