What did the Sumerians use to measure?
According to [1], there are three fundamental units: cubit for length, ca for volume and pound for weights. The ca and the pound are submultiples of the cubit, the ca being the value of the 144th part of the cubic cubit and the pound being the weight of a volume equivalent to the 240th part of the same cubic cubit.
