Volume measures are the pinch of two fingers [nip'] and three fingers [thuth], fistful [lap'], handful [kab], fold [uutz'] of about seven liters, armload [kal], and backload [cuch, patan]. Particular substances are counted by the containers in which they were typically carried, but these do not appear to be standardized. Weight and force are the only vaguely specified.
