§ 613. Words of Will to be Taken in Ordinary and Grammatical

Sense; Construction of Technical Words.

The words of a will are to be taken in their ordinary and

grammatical sense, unless a clear intention to use them in another sense

can be collected, and that other use can be ascertained. Technical words

are not necessary to give effect to any species of disposition by a will;

but technical words in a will are to be taken in their technical sense,

unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intention, or unless it

satisfactorily appears that the will was drawn solely by the testator, and

that he was unacquainted with such technical sense.
