The article says a vergee is a "22 foot square". So, is tha a square with each side 22 feet long? Or is it a square with an area of 22 square feet?

The article says that prior to metrification a french vergee was 1.011 square kilometers. 1.011 km^2 is 10,882,313 square feet. 1.011 meters^2 is 10.9 feet^2. -- Geo Swan 17:09, 7 August 2005 (UTC) reply

The French figure is from fr:Vergée. An alternative definition for the Jersey perch is a square 22 feet each side or 484 square feet. Any help with sorting this out is appreciated. Man vyi 18:18, 7 August 2005 (UTC) reply

fr:Vergée also claims that a vergée is equivalent to a rood which is converted as 1011.7141056 m². Someone with a grasp of figures might be able to make better sense of this than me. Man vyi 19:19, 7 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Dubious etymology removed from article:

a Norman word for orchard. [1]

Norman vergi (orchard) and vergie (vergée) coincide in form (but they are however different in gender) - both probably deriving from Latin virga. English verge for boundary derives likewise and I'd have thought that the orchard was something that was bounded (rather than the boundary deriving from the orchard). Unless, of course, anyone knows better? Man vyi 15:54, 28 September 2005 (UTC) reply
