Plural of coss; multiple units of distance in the Indian measurement system.
From coss + -as (plural marker in Hindi/Sanskrit-influenced English). A direct pluralization of the distance unit.
When British surveyors started measuring India in the 19th century, converting cossas to miles became a standardization nightmare because different regions used different-length cossas, making old maps nearly useless.
