help me name my third attribute

I'm doing a Tri-Stat-esque attribute division, and I'm having trouble naming my "Mind" attribute. As is, I have Materia for Body, Anima for Spirit, but nothing thematically the same (as in, "something"-ia) for Mind that also sounds elegant (so, something like Mentalia doesn't work). And before someone suggests, "Mentia", I should mention that it's Spanish for "S/He would lie." (as in, be dishonest)...
So, any suggestions? Thanks.

Cancel that, I just found a pretty major snag in my three stat system. Doh!

while i can appreciate and understand why, from a settings standpoint, one might name things "weirdly" i have to say, if there is just a simple word for it, use that. i really don't like having to perform a "translation" to remember what something is suppose to be.
if something is body, i would rather just read it as body, which i have an idea of what that probably is already. mind, body and spirit work rather well on their own without having to be dressed up.

Well, Materia is
M
, and Anima is
A
, so now you need something that starts with a
D
so that your stats spell
MAD
.
