About the aana
The aana is the working unit of urban land in Nepal’s hill system. It is 1/16 of a ropani, or 342.25 sq ft (about 31.80 m²), and divides into 4 paisa of 85.5625 sq ft, each made of 4 daam of about 21.39 sq ft. Plots are often written in the ropani-aana-paisa-daam form, for example 0-4-2-0 for 4 aana 2 paisa.
Do not confuse it with the anna once used in Pakistan, which Rowlett’s dictionary gives as about 20.17 sq yd (16.86 m²), roughly half the Nepali aana.
