    ummm... I don't know how correct this is, but:

    ab is just a preposition, it can mean to, by, because, from, it's used in counting, and is used in connection to/with regard to... take your pick. It's all about context.

    initio means something like infinite, or enlessness, eternity.... you get the picture

    animus is soul, bravery, courage

    damnum is damage or loss

    absque is without

    I'm assuming that injuria is close to injurius which means acting wrongfully, or unlawfully

    It's been about 12 years, but isn't "ab" the ablative preposition, and therefore "by, with or from" (generally speaking)? I seem to recall that "ad" is the dative preposition, and therefore "to or for".

    I could be wrong though.

    I have condensed some of these ...

    Ab initio - Lat. From the beginning; from the first act, entirely; as to all the acts done; in the inception. ...

    Animus - Lat. Mind; intention; disposition; design, will.

    Damnum absque injuria - Loss, hurt or harm without injury in the legal sense, that is, without such breach of duty as is redressable by an action. A loss which does not give rise to an action for damages against the person causing it. ....
