Unit Definition (catty [China])
The catty [China] is a weight unit of the colonial period in East and Southeast Asia, originating as the kati in Malaya. The catty varied a little from market to market. Typically it was equal to about 4/3 pound avoirdupois (604.79 grams), and it is still equal to that weight in Malaysia. In China, the catty was identified with the jin, a traditional Chinese unit.

Unit Definition (libra [Italy])
The libra [Italy] is a traditional unit of weight. The libra was the Roman unit from which the English pound is descended; the symbol "lb" for the pound comes from this unit. The traditional Italian libbra was often of similar size, but a wide variety of libbras were used in Italian markets over the centuries. The word "libra" is sometimes used now for the kilogram, a much larger unit.
