In ancient times, many measurements were based on body parts or functions: arm, cubit, span, inch, foot, pace, half hour, league. I pondered if any body part weighed around 4.25g, equivalent to half a siqlum or giĝ. I found that the foreskin, symbolically removed by Abraham/Hammurabi, could be linked to an ancient tradition of using rings as units of measurement, worn as bracelets, anklets, nose rings (nezem), or earrings.
- Ring's weight and material akin to a coin
- Potential link to Gilgamesh's Pukku ring
- Not derived from mythical underworld deity's excrement
- Avoidance of the often-cited Mammon figure
