maybe it's because we talk about weight as well as mass, the former being more important for everyday speech, but the latter being more fundamental.
That would explain why there is a word for weight instead of one for mass, but it doesn't explain why there is a word for either one of them at all. Other properties like size, length, etc. didn't get a special word. mu'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp
