It's missing the rottol (Ottoman Turkish: رطل, ratl, "pound") and pretends that the Ottoman Empire had a universal system of measures. It didn't: the same units varied from city to city and even from trade to trade within a city. See the quote at rottol's Wiktionary entry for a taste of the chaos. If there was a nominal standardization, great, mention it... but, for the most part, these values need to be given as ranges.
In the main text or in the footnotes, the article should address at least the most common variant spellings and names of each of these units: e.g., oka, okka, oke; ratl, rottol, rotl, rotolo, "pound"; cantaro, kintal, quintal... — LlywelynII00:55, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
