Did u cut a “taas” or 1/2”taas”

i have no idea wht the measurement of a tass was but my dad had a long bamboo stick that he called a rod.. n he used this “rod” to measure a taas. I dont know how many rods for a taas .
some old ladies used to cut rice.. till they could  hardly  stand up.. too much back pain .some kids too 1/4-1/2 taas.

sometimes they did bartering so as not to pay laborers to cut the rice. Family “A” cut for family “B” n vice versa

The Rod = 12 ft  ,from recollection 1 tass  is 3 rod wide and 12 rod in length.

Will help no tass work. Tass is "task work".
