I think I mentioned that oddity already, as this fact
always did bother me. Tin does means three and not
ten, but Tin Bigha is close to ten or eleven bighas.
Possibly the original corridor was smaller but
untenable, or it may have been measured wrong.
Unfortunately, even though I am a Bangladeshi, Brendan
is more likely to know the origin.

BTW, the word Tin does not sound like the metal. The
T is a soft T like the french word tres
