/ˈtɛnət/

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  TENET. Which he holds. There are two ways of stating the tenure in an action 
  of waste. The averment is either in the tenet and the tenuit; it has a 
  reference to the time of the waste done, and not to the time of bringing the 
  action. 
       2. When the averment is in the tenet the plaintiff on obtaining a 
  verdict, will recover the place wasted, namely, that part of the premises in 
  which the waste was exclusively done, if it were done in a par only, 
  together with treble damages. But when the averment is in the tenuit, the 
  tenancy being at an end, he will have judgment for his damages only. 2 
  Greenl. Ev. 652.
