—“See, for example, the insightful comments by Childs (1914, 1-2) who notes ‘[t]he word “property”, in law, has two significations, meaning, first, “something owned”; and, second, “ownership”. … Property in its first sense – that of “something owned”, is classified into Real Property, or Realty, and Personal Property, or Personalty’.

Blackstone uses the term ‘property’ in the sense of dominium (ownership right over a thing): see Blackstone (1893 [1753]), for example Chapter II. In contrast. Pollock in his seminal work on possession uses the term ‘ownership’, while the term ‘property’ mostly identifies the thing owned; see for example Pollock (1888, 8-12; also Pollock and Maitland 1898, Chapter IV).”—
