measure / seah

The weight measure that is translated as «measure» or «seah» or with a modern equivalent in English is translated in the 1989 Tsonga BIBELE Mahungu Lamanene into a measurement of what a traditional container can hold rather than weight: xirhundzu or xitshatshana (2) — «conical basket» or «small conical basket (2)» (for illustrations, see the containers on the left and right in the images from the same article below). (Source: The Bible Translator 1998, p. 215ff. )

In Hiligaynon, the traditional measurement unit gantang, app. 2 kilos or a third of a selah is used. (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
