Common Weight Conversions Metric Weight Conversions Unit Definition (pund [Scandinavia]) The pund is the Scandinavian pound, now reinterpreted as a metric unit equal to 500 grams (1.1023 pounds), like the German pfund. The traditional Swedish (Stockholm) pund was equal to about 425.1 grams (14.995 ounces). Unit Definition (rotl, rotel, rottle, ratel [Arab]) The rotl, rotel, rottle, ratel is a traditional Arab unit of weight corresponding to the Roman libra, the French livre, and the English pound. There was considerable variation in the unit from time to time and from place to place, but usually the rotl was about 0.9-1.15 pound (450-530 grams). However, in some areas of the Near East, such as Syria and Palestine, larger rotls of 5.5 to 6 pounds (2.5-2.8 kilograms) were used. This unit has many spellings in European languages.
