The oka is approximately 2.8 pounds or 1.28 kilograms, although its size varied somewhat over the large area formerly included in the Turkish empire. 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 word "libra" is sometimes used now for the kilogram, a much larger unit.
