Measurements and weights

Lengths:

ah-il, ah-ral
"Cloth is measured in the ah-il, which is the length from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, and the ah-ral, which is ten ah-ils."
Tribesmen of Gor, page 50

Hort
1 and 1/4 inches
"The hort is approximately and inch and a quarter in length."
Tribesmen of Gor, page 49

Gorean Foot "The Gorean foot, is in my estimation, just slightly longer than the Earth foot; based on the supposition that each of its ten horts is roughly one and one-quarter inches long, I would give the Gorean foot a length of roughly twelve and one-half inches, Earth measure."
Raiders of Gor, pages 127-128

pasang
0.7 miles
"The pasang is a measure of distance on Gor, equivalent approximately to 0.7 of a mile."
Tarnsman of Gor, page 58

Weights and Volumes gill
liquid volume
"In a matter of perhaps two or three seconds, it had drawn perhaps a gill of liquid."
Outlaw of Gor, page 34

Stone
4 Earth pounds
"I have calculated this from the Weight, a Gorean unit of measurement based on the Stone, which is about four Earth pounds."
Raiders of Gor, page 127

tef, tefa, huda
tef = handful, fingers closed
tefa = 6 tef
huda = 5 tefa

"A handful with the five fingers closed, not open, is a tef. Six such handfuls constitute a tefa, which is a tiny basket. Five such baskets constitute a huda."
Tribesmen of Gor, page 46

Weight

10 Stone = 40 Earth pounds
"A given tree, annually, yields between one and five Gorean weights of fruit. A weight is some ten stone, or some forty Earth pounds."
Tribesmen of Gor, page 37

"I have calculated this from the Weight, a Gorean unit of measurement based on the Stone, which is about four Earth pounds. A Weight is ten Stone."
Raiders of Gor, page 127

Conversion Chart for weight:

4lbs=1 stone
40lbs=10 stone=1 weight

so if you weigh 120lbs you would weigh 3 weights.
