I am trying to clarify some items

"Clarifying some items" does not equal posting some assertions
discussed at answered at length in many other posts.

Assertion you called it is what I speak as I believe in. No use saying
and keep saying something I am unsure about. This way at least you
know what I think. You tell me where I am wrong, then I can agree or
disagree with you after clarification.

and follow up with some questions.

You don't mean there was a denomination in Prunner for myriad cash, do
you?

Yes.

What I meant to ask was if there specifically myriad (10000) CASH.
Was cash included explicitly?
I mentioned the fact that Chinese MJ players do not refer to 'wan' as
myriad-cash. If Prunner had it, he copied it from Western historians'
transliteration. I suspect it is similar in the case of "walls" (added
for descriptive purpose. 'Honor' cards belong to the westernized
category as well. Chinese MJ players do not use such term. That is my
own experience.
