Dunam, dönüm Explanation: "A dunam or dönüm, donum was a unit of land area used in the Ottoman Empire and representing the amount of land that can be plowed in a day; its value varied from 900–2500 m². In many formerly Ottoman regions, it is now defined as exactly one decare (1000 m²)." "In Israel, the Palestinian territories, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey the dönüm is 1,000 square metres (10,764 sq ft), which is 1 decare. Before the end of the Ottoman Empire and during the early years of the British Mandate of Palestine, the size of a dönüm was 919.3 square metres (9,895 sq ft), but in 1928 the metric dönüm of 1,000 square metres (0.10 ha) was adopted, and this is still used". I've never heard of or seen "dunam metres" or the like. Plots of land can be measured in square metres or dunams. i.e. 2000m² or 2 dunams. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunam |
