namare
In the past, when someone owed money, the law allowed the creditor to take some of their property as payment. This process was called namare.
If someone borrowed money from a lender and didn't pay it back, the lender could use namare to take something of value from the borrower, like a cow or a piece of land. This was a way for the lender to get their money back.
