What about ananti and geananti (sorry for the spellings) used to measure
rice and other cereals.? Is one paili equivalent to four ananti?

Albert replies:- A khandi is equal to 20 kuddos. One kuddo
is two pailis and one paili is equal to four poddis. We had
a measure called podd. One kilo is equal to one and quarter
podd.
Podd is a measure of volume. Kilo, assuming it is kilogram, is a measure
of mass, or in common parlance, weight. A podd of tisreo cannot have the
same weight as a podd of rice. So, one kilo of what is equal to a podd and
a quarter of it?
Rice, tisreo, sugar, wheat, chirmuleo, chonne, bhiknna?
