Thanks Loquamur. I realized the word was Latin, but leaving it in Latin may not help my client much. I found Rod Darby's comments very useful also. Thanks again for your assistance.

agree  Lorianne Weston: I would leave it in Latin if possible. Black's Law Dict.: Ejusdem generis: of the same kind, class, or nature. The ejusdem generis rule means that general words are not to be widely construed, but apply only to persons or things of the same kind or class.

neutral  Сергей Лузан: I haven´t found the word in none of my numerous Dictionaries, only in Google. It´s too specialized to be left within the text. A footnote might be a way out here.too

agree  Rod Darby (X): Penelope, you might find 'ibid.' or 'ibidem' helpful if your readers are reasonably literate (how do you explain to someone that dictionaries don't generally index on inflected forms?)
