Although I m-w'd "heritage" and "legacy", I still can't understand the difference between them.
If my father dies and leaves me a house, is this house my {quH} or my {'ISyar} ?
The earth which will be inherited by the poor, is a {quH} or a {'ISyar} ?
The culture of ancient rome, for the italians of today, is their {quH} or their {'ISyar} ?
The English words have some overlap. My feeling is that "heritage"/{quH} focuses more on the descendant receiving something passed down, while "legacy"/{'ISyar} focuses more on the ancestor passing something down to their descendants. So in your first example, with the house being passed down from your father, I would say the house is {quHlIj} and {vavlI' 'ISyar}.
