• Newari: “Since his hair became heavy, from time to time he would cut it. (His hair weighed [lit.: was] 2.3 kilogram according to the governmental standard.)” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Only once a year he have-his-hair-cut, and he have-it-cut because his hair became too heavy for him. When they weighed his hair it weighed about two kilos according to the measurement of the king.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “His hair was very thick, and he cut it only once each year, when it became too heavy for him. Using the standard weights, he would weigh the hair that he cut off, and it always weighed about five pounds.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
