[Sca-cooks] Measurements in de Casteau

[Terry Decker]

Found it.  It shows up in English post-period as rummer.  Probably derived 
from Old German with variants in German, Flemish and Dutch.  Original 
meaning is "Roman glass."  As near as I can tell, there is no fixed measure, 
but it is likely between 8 and 12 fl.oz. (avoir.).
