qar'a'? A cubic 'uj would be slightly larger than a cubic foot,
which seems like a lot less than 42.9 tlho'ren, given that a
tho'ren is somewhere near a quart/liter in size. I could
believe 4.29, but 42.9?

bIqarqu'law'. maj. Let's see... A pint's a pound the world
around and a cheb is about 5 pounds and a tho'ren is around a
quart, which is around two pounds, which is around 0.44 x 5...
I respect pagh's math skills far beyond my own. But 42.9?
