EN: inheritance, legacy
This is what you get from your lolo or lola when they pass away—could be land in the province, their secret adobo recipe, or their chismosa tendencies. It's the ultimate "mana" from heaven (or from them, at least). It's not just about money; it can also be a legacy, like your family's good name or that one "puto" business that's been around since the Spanish era.
From `pa-` + `mana`. The prefix `pa-` often indicates something given or caused. `Mana` means inheritance.
ROOT MEANING: inheritance; heritage
Can refer to both tangible assets (like property) and intangible things (like values, traditions, or even genetic traits).
