Talk:Chazakah

This article is a mess. It presumes that the primary meaning of "chazakah" is "legal presumption" and that the taking possession of property is just one instance of it. Surely it's the other way round? "Chazakah" primarily means taking hold of something. In property law this is a means of taking ownership, cumulative or alternative to the other two methods (written document and exchange); or, in the case of three years' undisturbed possession, on its own. Then, by analogy with that, it can mean presumptive possession of a legal status (whether by a person or a thing) and, hence, presumption in general. --Sir Myles na Gopaleen (the da) (talk) 11:34, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
