English translation:ownership of 97/5000ths of the site
Explanation:
Or 97/5000ths of the ownership of the ground.

It is standard practice to divide co-owned property (condominiums) into thousandths, five-thousandths, ten-thousandths, etc. Each owner has a given number of 1000ths.

In my building in Paris, when two flats were merged by the same owner who also took a part of the landing that was no further use to anyone but him, we moved from 1000 thousandths to 1001 thousand-and- .... oneths?????
