POOD OF SALT

Dima Pselu, topographer

To find out who you are

A pood of salt must be eaten together.

Pound of salt for two with you

We certainly ate.

We have salt behind our backs

Cowboys hardened.

Uzboy blinded us with salt

So my eyes hurt.

What about our well? The camp that

Where did we live in the beginning?

Kissel, compote was salty,

Not to mention tea.

And yet you can’t tear it off sometimes

Us from drinking this.

You and I ate a pood of salt

In the literal sense of the word.

But every day we walked into the sands,

Carrying water in flasks

And picked up the shards

An unknown people.

We ate a pood of salt together,

And yet hardly

We are on our way to the end

They tested each other.

We'll have to eat with you

Another pood of salt

Testing courage and honor

In simple, in everyday life.

Measures	Gram	Description
Berkovets		This large measure of weight was used in wholesale trade mainly for weighing wax, honey, etc. Berkovets - from the name of the island Bjork. So in Russia a measure of weight of 10 pounds was called, just a standard barrel of wax, which one person could roll onto a merchant boat sailing to this very island (163.8 kg). There is a mention of a Berkovets in the 12th century in the charter of Prince Vsevolod Gabriel Mstislavich to the Novgorod merchants.
		From the Turkic language batman. They were used in the 15th-17th centuries, but not often. The steelyard is also called a kind of scales. In this sense, it has reached our days.
		An ancient measure of loose bodies. In the 17th century, the kad was equal to 2 quarters and contained 12 poods of ordinary or 14 Moscow poods of grain. The more ancient name of kadi is Okov. The name comes from a specially adapted large barrel (tubs) for measurements. The tub was covered with a metal hoop on top, “so that it could not be cut” (that is, cut off the top of an unbound cady and release less grain for the same fee).
Pud		From the Latin pondus - weight, heaviness. This is not only a measure of weight, but also a weight measuring device. When weighing metals, the pood was both a unit of measure and a counting unit. Even when the weighing results were tens and hundreds of poods, they were not translated into Berkovtsy. Even in the XI-XII centuries. they used various scales with equal-arm and unequal-arm yoke: "pood" - a type of scale with a variable fulcrum and a fixed weight, "skalva" - equal-arm scales (two-cup).
		The oldest explanation of this unit is found in the "Trade Book", a monument supplemented in the 16th and early 17th centuries, as well as in "Counting Wisdom" and in Magnitsky's arithmetic. It is most likely that the word "ansyr" or "antsyr" is taken from the German ganzer (from Hanz) - whole, full, intact, and assigned to a pound of full weight of 16 ounces, from which many pound divisions originated. The last time ansyr is mentioned in the Nizhny Novgorod customs book of the 1720s.
		It was used mainly to indicate the weight of precious metals, in particular gold.
Big hryvnia		The word "hryvnia" was used to denote both the weight and the monetary unit. It is the most common measure of weight in retail and craft. It was also used for weighing metals, in particular gold and silver.
spool		Used for weighing small but expensive goods. They said about him: "the spool is small and expensive." This word originally meant a gold coin.
		Lat. scrupulum, from scrupulus, a small sharp stone. Ancient unit of apothecary's weight.
		Goiter - food (other Russian). Ancient Pskov bread measure. Divided into half and quarters. Approximately equaled 10 pounds of flour. (Mentioned: Pskov chronicles of the 14th-16th centuries)
