Questions of accuracy

I cannot find anything to back up the spelling 'ukkia' for the Algerian ounce. Wiktionary has وقية with a different romanisation; an Algerian site [1] (in French) uses the spelling 'oukia'. But in any event this appears to be simply the Algerian version of ounce, and ought to be identified as such. The other entries for weight are odd: "rottolo à thary" presumably means "the rottolo[?] of thary[?]" left in French, but again the only relevant hits that a search engine finds are the usual two: this Wikipedia article, and Cardarelli's essay. I think someone who knows about Arabic at least should look at this. Imaginatorium (talk) 15:05, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
