ובנכסים מועטים. שאין בהם פרנסה שנים עשר חודש לזכרים ולנקבות. ורמב״ם פירש, כל שאין בהם לפרנס הבנים והבנות עד שיבגרו הבנות, קרוי נכסים מועטים:
בשביל שאני זכר הפסדתי. כלומר, בשביל שאני זכר וראוי לירש בנכסים מרובים הפסדתי בנכסים מועטים. ואין הלכה כאדמון:

כתובות פרק י"ג משנה ד׳
Bartenura
והודה בקנקנים – empty [jars] without oil as for example where his fellow made a claim against him for ten pitchers of oil that I have that are with you.
Admon states that there is an implication in this claim [for] oil and pitchers, and when he admitted to him about the empty pitchers, that is a partial admission of guilt and he requires taking an oath.
But the Sages state that there is no implication in this claim other than the oil alone which is the measure of ten pitchers, and when he admitted to him regarding the empty pitchers, what he claimed against him was not admitted to him, and what he admitted to him was not claimed against him, and there is no partial admission from the kind of a claim and he is not liable to take an oath, but the Halakha is according to Admon.
והודה בקנקנים. ריקים בלא שמן. וכגון שטענו חבירו עשרה כדי שמן יש לי אצלך:
אדמון אומר. יש במשמעות טענה זו שמן וכדים, וכשהודה לו בכדים ריקים הוי הודאה במקצת וחייב שבועה:
וחכמים אומרים. אין במשמעות טענה זו אלא שמן בלבד שיעור עשרה כדים, וכשהודה לו בכדים ריקים, מה שטענו לא הודה לו ומה שהודה לו לא טענו, ואין כאן הודאה במקצת ממין הטענה ואינו חייב שבועה. והלכה כאדמון:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.

בנכסים מועטים – that they lack support for twelve months for males and females. And Maimonides explained that everyone who lack the means to support the boys and girls until the girls become adults is called meager resources/a small amount of property.
בשביל שאני זכר הפסדתי – meaning to say, with the fact that I am a male and designated/predestined to inherit with a great deal of property, I have lost out when there is a small amount of property/meager resources. But the Halakha is not according to Admon.
