Occasional laboratory and pharmacy use.
Part of the original metric system of 1795.
Masha
The masha equals about 0.972 gram, or eight ratti.
A traditional Indian mass unit in the ratti-masha-tola chain.
Small jewelry and gemstone weights in South Asia.
Part of the ancient Indian weight system dating to the Indus Valley era.
