Re: [Ltru] Disambiguating specific and generic names

The only way the semantics play a role is, as I said, if they serve to disambiguate two entries. If you think this information is necessary, it would be useful to find a case where it does, in fact, disambiguate. Otherwise it is unnecessary in the registry. There is *lots* of information about languages out in the world -- we just need to focus on the information that is necessary for the registry itself.

Syntactically, yes.  Semantically, no.
