You're mostly right. I didn't know about {junta} and found {bunda} first.
There is a second (unofficial) definition of {bunda} in jbovlaste that
changed it from the baseline: {x1} weighs {x2} units ..
That's the one I used, that's why I think my wording is also valid (though
using {junta} is much better)
