habere

habere (h[schwa]-beer-ee), vb. [Latin “to have”] Roman law. To have (the right to) something. • This term was sometimes distinguished from tenere (to hold) and possidere (to possess), with habere referring to the right, tenere to the fact, and possidere to both.

“ ‘Habere’ has two meanings; for we say that the owner of a thing ‘has’ it and also that a nonowner who holds the thing ‘has’ it. Lastly, we use the word in relation to property deposited with us.” Digest of Justinian 45. 1.38.9 (Ulpian, Ad Sabinum 49).
