As used in canon:
wejvatlh SochmaH vagh SaD cheb'a'mey ngI' Duj
Mass: 8.7 KT (KBoP)
(lit. "the ship weighs 375,000 {cheb'a'}s")
Klingons measure weight with the {cheb}:
A common unit of weight is {cheb}, which is around five
pounds (2.25 kg or so). [st.klingon 10/22/97]
In a subsequent interview with charghwI', Okrand said that a {cheb'a'} is
equal to nine times a {cheb}.
