About these units
Cab (Biblical) (cab)
A cab is a small Biblical volume measure estimated at roughly 1 liter or slightly less. It was used for grains, spices, legumes, and other dry goods. The cab appears in scriptural narratives to represent modest quantities suitable for household use or famine conditions, making it a culturally meaningful indicator of scarcity or modest provision. Its place in the Hebrew hierarchy—1 cab = 1/6 of a seah (another unit not in your list)—shows how everyday domestic needs shaped measurement scales.
Acre-Foot (US Survey) (ac*ft (US))
The US survey acre-foot differs extremely slightly from the international acre-foot due to the slight difference between the survey foot and the international foot. While the distinction is negligible in most contexts, it is important in surveying, legal water rights, and long-term hydrological accounting, especially in regions where large historical datasets were recorded using US survey measures. This variant highlights how even subtle unit differences can have major implications when dealing with huge volumes over long timescales, such as state water budgets and inter-state compacts.
