Guz

A guz (Persian: گز, Hindi: गज}), also written as gaz, guzz, guj or gudge, is an obsolete unit of length used in parts of Asia. It was a regionally variable measurement, corresponding culturally to the yard in that it was often used for measuring textiles. Values of the guz range from 24 inches to 41 inches over time. Today, it is generally used in the Indian subcontinent as the word for a "yard".
