The English name for Barmenistan comes from the Proto-Rhaetan Gwerəmēstā-no which subdivides into three words: gwerə-, meaning “heavy”, mē-, meaning “to measure”, and stā-no, meaning “where one stands”. Thus it probably refers to the country as a place where people were renowned for their weight system, and the fact that the name survived among the Rhaetans to develop into its present form suggests that the Proto-Rhaetans in Barmenistan defined the weight system of all Proto-Rhaetans and perhaps even controlled the trade for which the weight system was necessary.
