Historical use

A small capacity measure, here one sixtieth of a dry tomna. The land kejla measures surface area and has a separate conversion.

These measures describe the volume of goods such as grain. A dry tomna is not a land tomna, and the weight of the same volume changes with the commodity.

Variations & cautions

Dry capacity; traditional relationship

References give different values for siegħ: one sixth or one tenth of a tomna. Both interpretations are shown separately; neither is a universal value.

A calculation can be mathematically precise while its historical equivalence remains approximate. Each variant here carries its context and sources. Displaying more decimal places does not make a rounded value more certain.
