My own dictionary lists the measurements as: cheb = approximately 5 pounds (2.25kg) cheb’a’ = approximately 45-46.4 pounds (20.4-21.05kg) (9-9.28 cheb) Sources are MSN and the Bird of Prey poster. Overall, Okrand has been a little vague about measurements; good enough to understand roughly how heavy a think is described by a Klingon, or roughly what to tell a Klingon that a thing weighs, but not enough for serious business exchanges, or for passing on grandma’s recipe for ro’qegh ‘Iwchab, unless grandma was vague and sloppy. charghwI’ vaghnerya’ngan rInpa’ bomnIS be’’a’ pI’.

DloraH(?) had a page up that had a very nice conversion table all layed out.
I can't seem to find it, though.
Anyone else have the link?

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