"200-pound"=

technically wrong: the Romanian old weight referenced here is "oca" (ninety-nine of them ocas) roughly about 1.25 kilos, or 123.75 kilos. In Romania (then Wallachia) "oca" was borrowed from the Turkish unit of measure called 'oka'. Like all measurement units in pre-standards era, an oka's size would vary with area, date, custom and honesty: peddling with a small oca was likely a common way to ensure competitive advantage, though of course one could also get in trouble over it, and in traditional societies trouble may take forms more crippling than an FTC fine or license revocation.

As I was saying
