Unit Definition (hyl)
The hyl is an obsolete MKS unit of mass. One hyl is the mass that is accelerated at one meter per second per second by one kilogram of force (kgf). Since 1 kgf = 9.806 65 newtons, the hyl is equivalent to 9.806 65 kilograms. The name of the unit comes from an ancient Greek word for matter.

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.
