A blending of property for equality of division, as
   when lands given in frank-marriage to one daughter were, after the
   death of the ancestor, blended with the lands descending to her and to
   her sisters from the same ancestor, and then divided in equal portions
   among all the daughters. In modern usage, a mixing together, or
   throwing into a common mass or stock, of the estate left by a person
   deceased and the amounts advanced to any particular child or children,
   for the purpose of a more equal division, or of equalizing the shares
   of all the children; the property advanced being accounted for at its
   value when given.
