Right
1) Sometimes it signifies a law, as when we say that natural right requires us to keep our promises, or that it commands restitution, or that it forbids murder. In our language it is seldom used in this sense. 2) It sometimes means that quality in our actions by which they are denominated just ones. This is usually denominated rectitude. 3) It is that quality in a person by which he can do certain actions, or possess certain things which belong to him by virtue of some title. In this sense, we use it when we say that a man has a right to his estate or a right to defend himself.
Mere
This is the French word for mother. It is frequently used as, in ventre sa mere, which signifies; a child unborn, or in the womb.
Pretense
Also False Pretense. To represent something to be what it is not.
Faith

Without
