coss

1 Before the gate towards Agra, in a stony ascent near a coss in length, are the ruins of an extensive suburb.

2 Of coss I don't say YOU could ever be another Mewnay-Sooyay!'

3 In seven days journey, I arrived at Delhi, eighty-one coss from Agra.

4 Beyond the walls, the suburbs formerly extended four coss to the north, but are now all in ruins, except a few tombs, mosques, and goodly serais, in which no persons now dwell.

5 At the end of the second coss is a double gate strongly fortified; and at the third coss is the castle, which is entered by three successive gates.

6 Beyond it is Beelmahl, the ancient wall of which is still to be seen, near twenty-four coss in circuit, containing many fine tanks going to ruin.

7 From this monument, which is two coss from Delhi, there is said to be a subterraneous passage all the way to Delhi castle.

8 About two coss from the castle is a garden belonging to Khan-Khana, called the Loll baug, all the way between being pleasantly shaded by rows of trees.

9 Of coss, I don't say you could ever be another Mewnay-Sooyay.

10 Within four coss of Broach is a great mine of agates.

11 The gulf or bay is eight coss over, and is exceedingly dangerous to navigate on account of the great bore, which drowns many, so that it requires skilful pilots well acquainted with the tides.

12 The brown and Egyptian coss are sown in August, and commonly stand the winter; and in the spring are fit for use.

13 For two coss or better within the outer gate, this city is all ruined, except many tombs and mosques which yet remain, interspersed among the tottering walls of many large houses.

14 After galloping for many coss, I became completely exhausted, and lay down in an open field near the roadside to rest.

15 The country of Cashmere is a rich and fertile plain among the mountains, some 150 coss in length, and 50 broad, abounding in fruits, grain, and saffron, and having beautiful fair women.

16 "Keep to the English if that is your language, 'coss me is spoke English as well as Welsh."

17 Mittunkote appears, from a distance of two coss, a place of some size, with a somewhat conspicuous dome. 

18 In this country the coss is two English miles.

19 Broach is a fair castle, seated on a river twice as broad as the Thames, called the Nerbuddah, the mouth of which is twelve coss from thence.

20 So Hoonamunta took his tail in his hand, and pulled and pulled; and the tail grew, and grew,—a fathom, a furlong, a whole coss.
