Comment
There are two parties of the deed: Mouna with Manyil (sellers) and Ionngoka with Mena (buyers). Wojciechowski 2011, p. 264, supposes that Ionngoka was the wife of Mena. If his assumption is correct, it seems reasonable to suppose that the sellers were married too. Of the pair of sellers, only Mouna's gender is certain, as he is identified as the son of Mashalko. If, again, such the above assumption is correct, Manyil would be a woman, Mouna's wife.
