Abstract: For any topological space $X$ we study the relation between the universal uniformity $mathcal{U}_X$, the universal quasi-uniformity $qmathcal{U}_X$ and the universal pre-uniformity $pmathcal{U}_X$ on $X$. For a pre-uniformity $mathcalU$ on a set $X$ and a word $v$ in the two-letter alphabet $+,-$ we define the verbal power $mathcal{U}^v$ of $mathcalU$ and study its boundedness numbers $ell(mathcal{U}^v)$ and $$. The boundedness numbers of the (Boolean operations over) the verbal powers of the canonical pre-uniformities $pmathcal{U}_X$, $qmathcal{U}_X$ and $mathcal{U}_X$ yield new cardinal characteristics $el{l}^v(X)$, $$, $qel{l}^v(X)$, $$, $uell(X)$ of a topological space $X$, which generalize all known cardinal topological invariants related to (star)-covering properties. We study the relation of the new cardinal invariants $el{l}^v$, $$ to classical cardinal topological invariants such as Lindel"of number $ell$, density $d$, and spread $s$. The simplest new verbal cardinal invariant is the foredensity $el{l}^{-}(X)$ defined for a topological space $X$ as the smallest cardinal $kappa$ such that for any neighborhood assignment $(O_x{)}_{xinX}$ there is a subset $AsubsetX$ of cardinality $|A|lekappa$ that meets each neighborhood $O_x$, $xinX$. It is clear that $el{l}^{-}(X)led(X)leel{l}^{-}(X)cdotchi(X)$. We shall prove that $el{l}^{-}(X)=d(X)$ if $|X|<alep{h}_{o}mega$. On the other hand, for every singular cardinal $kappa$ (with $kappale{2}^{2^{cf(kappa)}}$) we construct a (totally disconnected) $T_1$-space $X$ such that $el{l}^{-}(X)=cf(kappa)<kappa=|X|=d(X)$.
