I know that {cheb} is defined as "roughly 5 lbs" in Okrand's Usenet<br class="">
message. And the BoP poster mentions the weight of {cheb'a'} in the<br class="">
following relationship:<br class="">
<br class="">
375,000 cheb'a' = 8.7 KT<br class="">
<br class="">
I remember reading that 1 {cheb'a'} might be 9 {cheb}, but no matter<br class="">
what I calculate, I don't get it – so where's my error?<br class="">
