Unit Definition (unze [Germany])
The unze is a traditional German weight unit, corresponding to the English ounce. The unze equals 1/16 pfund. Although the pfund has been assimilated into the metric system (as 500 grams), the unze is effectively obsolete. It varied in size from about 28 to 35 grams. The word comes directly from the Latin uncia; the plural is unzen.

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.
