A quick definition of dalus:

Term: DALUS

Definition: A dalus is an old-fashioned word that means a ditch or a thin strip of land between two plowed furrows. It was used as a measure of land in the past.

Other names: Dailus, Dailia

A more thorough explanation:

dalus (day-ləs), n. [Law Latin "a dale"]

  1. A dale; a ditch.
  2. A measure of land being a thin strip of pasture between two plowed furrows.

Also termed dailus; dailia.

Dalus is a historical term that has two meanings. The first meaning is a dale or a ditch. A dale is a valley or a low area between hills or mountains. A ditch is a long narrow hole in the ground that is usually used for drainage or irrigation.

The second meaning of dalus is a measure of land. It is a thin strip of pasture that is located between two plowed furrows. A furrow is a long narrow trench that is made in the ground by a plow. The purpose of the furrow is to prepare the soil for planting.

For example, a farmer might use dalus to measure the amount of land that he needs to plant crops. He would plow the land and then leave a thin strip of pasture between the furrows. This would be the dalus.
