Guz

A guz (or gaj) is a unit of length used in parts of Asia, like India, Pakistan, Nepal, Persia etc. A guz is also called the Mughal yard as this unit of length was established in India by the Mughals. The guz is still commonly used in the Indian subcontinent. It has become the standard word in Hindi and Urdu for 'yard', although guz is slightly shoters than the yard.

In the Indian subcontinent, guz is a commonly used unit for measuring plots of land. A 100 square guz of land will be equal to 100 square yards. The guz is also used in measuring cloth. Sari, a traditional dress of Indian women, is often measured as 7 guz, 9 guz etc.

Fathom

A fathom is a unit of length in the imperial and the U.S. customary systems equal to 6 feet (1.8288 m). The unit of fathom is used especially for measuring the depth of water. The fathom is neither an International Standard (SI) unit, nor an internationally-accepted non-SI unit. Most modern nautical charts indicate depth in meters. However, the U.S. Hydrographic Office uses feet and fathoms. A nautical chart will always explicitly indicate the units of depth used.

An imperial fathom is equal to two yards (6 feet).
