A legacy from one's parent or close relative.
A genitive relationship indicates source:
Himbumonoh nan payaw Dulīmay ti hiyah ne bonoh amāna.
Dulīmay's pond fields are a single pond-field holding because that is a legacy from his father.
Legacies are used to determine one's relative worth, inadangyan. A legacy is not owned unconditionally by one holding it. Other relatives have some claim on ownership, determined by the closeness of their blood relationship to previous and present owners. Their claims are exercised when a legacy is sold or passed on as a legacy to someone else.
