A more thorough explanation:

tenendas

Tenendas is a legal term that means "to be held". It has two meanings:

1. In historical charters, it refers to a clause that explains the nature of the tenure. This clause is called tenendas because it starts with the word "tenendas".
2. In Scots law, it refers to the right to hold or possess property.

1. In a historical charter, the tenendas clause might say something like "to be held by the grantee and their heirs forever". This means that the grantee and their descendants have the right to possess the property indefinitely.

2. In Scots law, a person might have tenendas over a piece of land, which means they have the right to use and occupy it.

These examples illustrate how the term tenendas is used in different legal contexts to describe the right to hold or possess property.
