Libnah

A libnah is a traditional land area measurement used, as far as I know, only in Yemen. It has no equivalent term in English, so I would say use the transliteration and explain it, especially since it is much smaller than an acre or a hectare.
Even in Yemen the size of a libnah varies from one city to another. In Sana'a, a libnah is 44.44 sq. m. while other regions could be larger or smaller. For example, in 'Amran north of Sana'a, a libnah is 64 sq. m.
