The story
The 882 Sukawana AI inheritance rule reserves estate goods valued at four masaka for funeral costs. Heterogeneous goods are valued in a common account, not merely weighed as gold. [1]
The 923 Sembiran AI inheritance provision further supports ma as a measure of value distinct from a literal gold quantity. [2]
