The [[Latin]] expression '''ejusdem generis''' is a principle of legal statutory interpretation that means "where general words follow specific words in a statutory enumeration, the general words are construed to embrace only objects similar in nature to those objects enumerated by the preceding specific words." 2A N. Singer, Sutherland on Statutes and Statutory Construction § 47.17 (1991) (quoted by ''Circuit City Stores v. Adams'', 532 U.S. 105, 114-15, 121 S. Ct. 1302, 1308-09 (2001)).
