Milligram
A milligram (mg) equals one-millionth of a kilogram, or 0.001 gram.
From the SI prefix 'milli-' (from Latin 'mille', thousand).
Standard for medicine dosing, nutrition labels, and fine jewelry.
Part of the original metric system of 1795.
Ratti
The ratti equals about 0.1215 gram, the smallest traditional South Asian weight.
Based on the seed of the Gunja plant (Abrus precatorius), or 'raktika' in Sanskrit.
Gemstones and gold in Indian and South Asian jewelry.
One of the oldest weight units of the Indian subcontinent, later standardized.
