Unit Definition (tahil [China])
The tahil is a traditional unit of weight used throughout eastern Asia. During the colonial period, the tahil was more or less standardized throughout the region at 4/3 ounce avoirdupois (1/16 catty, 1/12 pound, or about 37.8 grams). In Japan, however, the tahil was identified with a slightly smaller traditional unit and is considered equal to 1.323 ounces (37.51 grams). The tahil is usually considered equal to the Chinese liang.

Unit Definition (pond [Dutch])
The pond is the Dutch pound, historically about 494 grams (1.089 English pounds). This unit was also used in the former Dutch Indies (now Indonesia) and throughout Southeast Asia. In the Netherlands, the pond has been reinterpreted now as a metric unit equal to exactly 500 grams (1.1023 pounds), like the German pfund.
