noun

두남, 오스만 제국 면적 단위

An Ottoman Turkish unit of surface area nominally equal to 1,600 square (Turkish) paces but actually varied at a provincial and local level according to land quality to accommodate its colloquial sense of the amount of land able to be plowed in a day, roughly equivalent to the Byzantine stremma or English acre.

Examples :

"The farmer estimated he could harvest about five dunam of wheat from his field this year, though the actual area might be a bit more or less depending on the soil's richness in different sections. "

농부는 올해 자신의 밭에서 약 5두남의 밀을 수확할 수 있을 것으로 추정했지만, 실제 면적은 토양의 비옥함에 따라 다를 수 있습니다.
