WORDS OF. Those by which, taken absolutely, without reference to or connection with any other words, an estate first attaches, or is considered as commencing in point of title, in the person described by them, such as the words "son," "daughter." Words which create a title in certain persons, as distinguished from those which merely limit or define the quantum of estate. See "Shelley's Case, Rule in."
