Exactly. "There is always another, yet more tellingly obscure legal precedent", as the unofficial Lawspeaker motto has it (allegedly).

Indeed it does, though it might just be one; I can't recall, alas. Given the soundness of the research methods of the (Gloranthan) author of RotO, and the G:G section, the exact formula might in any case vary widely. If it were something like 'fed a child for a winter', you could get into all sorts of arguments about which winter (not to mention, which child!) 'counted' for such purposes.
Counter-arguments to such quibbles would perhaps run along the lines of how her actions have profitted the clan, in the long run, and would Ernalda herself not have shown such foresight, as exemplified by [insert foresighted Ernalda myth here]. I completely forget the plot (though I wouldn't go so far as to said I'd lost it...) of the Ernalda Feeds the Tribe myth, but I'm sure that's prime fodder for such arguments
Slán libh,
