Seer (unit)
A Seer (also sihr) is a traditional unit of mass and volume. It was used in large parts of Asia prior to the middle of the 20th century, but now remains in use only in a few countries such as Afghanistan. Only in Iran the unit is used regularly, but indicates a smaller unit of weight than the ones used in India.

Famous quotes containing the word seer:
“Always the seer is a sayer. Somehow his dream is told: somehow he publishes it with solemn joy: sometimes with pencil on canvas: sometimes with chisel on stone; sometimes in towers and aisles of granite, his soul’s worship is builded; sometimes in anthems of indefinite music; but clearest and most permanent, in words.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
