The size of a [[Morgen]] varies from 1/2 to 2 1/2 [[acre]]s, which equivalates to approximately 0.202 to 1.012 [[Hectare|ha]]. It was also used in old [[Prussia]], [[Norway]] and [[Denmark]], where it was equal to about two-thirds of an acre (0.27 ha). The word is usually taken to be the same as the [[German language|German]] and [[Dutch language|Dutch]] word for "morning", the area of a morgen being equal to that covered by a morning's [[plough]]ing. ==See also== [[Arpent]] {{1911}} [[Category:Obsolete units of measure]] [[cs:Jitro]] [[de:Morgen (Einheit)]] [[nl:Morgen (oppervlaktemaat)]] [[pl:Morga]] [[uk:Морґ]]
