Well, we had talked about using "quantity" and "value".  Quantity
would indicate how much of the thing you have, and value it's value.
Though quantity, taken by itself, is ambiguous, I'm not sure it's so
bad when within the context of a split.  It would be hard to confuse
it with any of the other fields, and it's arguably better than
damount.

In any case, better names, would certainly be welcome.
