arura
Arura or aroura (Greek: ἄρουρα), is a Homeric Greek〔Iliad 11.68〕 word with original meaning "arable land", derived from the verb ἀρόω (''aroō''), "plough".〔(ἀρόω ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕 The word was also used generally for earth, land and father-land and in plural to describe corn-lands and fields.〔(ἄρουρα ), Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', on Perseus〕 The term ''arura'' was also used to describe a measure of land in ancient Egypt (similar in manner to the acre), a square of 100 Egyptian cubits each way.〔(Herodotus, 2.168 ), on Perseus〕 This measures 2700m² or 2/3 of an acre.〔("Household economics: Making ends meet" ) note 1.〕 The oldest attested form of the word is the Mycenaean Greek ''a-ro-u-ra'', written in Linear B syllabic script, originally meant "plough".〔(Palaeolexicon ), Word study tool of ancient languages〕
