Hmmmm.  The whole issue of metric vs. imperial in the Jargon's an
interesting one.  Now, are we talking about US quarts or imperial

cup - oaskun

ounce (fl. oz.) - moxt oaskun

pint - hyas oaskun


Nadja responds:
The problem here is that 8 fluid ounces make a wet measure cup;
and a dry measure cup is actually a different measure because the
miniscus is important!

(I have a Home Economics degree (Foods and Nutrition)
and I am not afraid to use it!)
