About these units
Cor (Biblical) (cor)
The cor, also called a homer, is a large ancient Hebrew volume unit often estimated at 220–230 liters. It was used primarily for dry goods like grain but sometimes also referenced for liquids such as oil. Because the cor was large, it played a central role in agricultural recordkeeping, taxation, and royal provisioning. References in the Hebrew Bible describe tribute, temple offerings, and agricultural yields in cors, indicating its prominence in early economic systems. The cor's size reveals the scale of ancient farming operations, where grain harvests needed units big enough to represent substantial quantities.
Centiliter (cL)
A centiliter equals 1/100 of a liter and is commonly used in beverage labeling, especially in Europe. Alcohol content, soft drink servings, and cooking measurements often appear in centiliters due to its convenient scale for small but not tiny volumes. Many European recipes also use cL because the metric system simplifies culinary measurement. Bartenders frequently use 2 cL or 4 cL pours for spirits, making the centiliter central to mixology and hospitality industries. The unit's casual everyday adoption shows how cultural preferences influence the popularity of particular metric subdivisions.
