The Greek that is translated in English with «basket» or «bushel» or «measure» is translated into Avaric with an existing term: «sah.» «To the European reader it is not clear how a lamp can be put under a measure, since such a reader has only a vague idea what this «measure» (modios in the original Greek) must look like. For the Avar, again, there is no problem here: everybody knows the word sah, which means exactly the same as the Greek modios.» (Source: Magomed-Kamil Gimbatov and Yakov Testelets in The Bible Translator 1996, p. 434ff. )
