   Hello Alan,   
      
    HG> For weights, swedes use hecto(kg) which is a tenth of a full kilogram.   
      
      
   AZ> In Italy - a place I like to visit - a common measure is 'etto' -   
   AZ> 100 grams. Cheese, ham, fruits and vegetables may be sold at a price   
   AZ> 'per etto'.   
      
   It seems to be the same as the swedish hecto. Neither in italian nor   
   spanish is the letter 'h' pronounced, especially when it stands ahead   
   of a vocal.   
      
      
   Have a nice evening,   
      
   Holger
