Vector
156; In mathematics, a vector space (or linear space) is a collection of objects (called vectors) that, informally speaking, may be scaled and added. More formally, a vector space is a set on which two operations, called (vector) addition and (scalar) multiplication, are defined and satisfy certain natural axioms. Vector spaces are the basic objects of study in linear algebra, and are used throughout mathematics, science, and engineering. 158; 165; vectorists, 534; and Monotony, 560; Wikipedia entry

veil
140; A caul or veil (Latin: Caput galeatum) is a thin, filmy membrane, the remnants of the amniotic sac, that covers or partly covers the newborn mammal immediately after birth. The Caul were even sold durning Greek and Roman times to statemen, for it was believed to wear one would bring wisdom, honor, truth,and pyschic powers and protection against evil. In Icelandic tradition, the caul is associated with a guardian spirit called a fylgja. This fylgja can take many forms after birth, including an animal, an inanimate object (such as a cloak), or another human being, and often serves as a kind of warning against potential danger. It is a very old idea that a child born with a caul over its face will be endowed with special powers or gifts.
