5. A name an appellation.

6. Right or that which constitutes a just cause of exclusive possession that which is the foundation of ownership as a good title to an estate or an imperfect title. The lowest degree of title is naked possession, and lastly the right of property, all which united complete the title.

But possession is not essential to a complete title. A title to personal property may be acquired by occupancy. A claim is not a title.

7. The instrument which is evidence of a right.

8. In the canon law, that by which a beneficiary holds a benefice. This is true and valid, or colorable. A valid title gives a right to the benefice. A colorable title appears to be valid, but is not.

TI'TLE, To name to call to entitle.
