Re: [Cz-L] Measures and weights

Hi
If I may add some clarifications
A jmenie is a handful (Ukrainian)
A Mayontek was usually used for much money
A chaserl was the Russian Gold coin in the jargon of the Jewish Boersianer
in the Postgasse. the other Gold coins were "Harte" and a Dollar Bill was
in contrast "weiche"
