It is suggested that money demand in the short run is determined by GDP growth (as a measure of demand for money as a medium of exchange and means of circulation), changes of nominal interest rate (reflecting a speculative motive and a store of value function of money, see Kruk (2006b)).

holds {retains} its value or a hedge against {inflation}

But you will still have to play with these. Google the phrases and see how they are used.
