Parricide and other terms

Eloise:

I would think "Murder" with additional key words to identify victim 
and assailant and comments would work?

Mmmm, maybe.  At this point, we should wait so that people can find 
terms quickly by reading the list alphabetically.

JKR.

Yes, someone is using that convention.  I think it is simpler to 
code a discussion of who Cho will marry as "SHIP" and "Cho."  If 
nothing else, it eliminates an entry in the terms database with no 
loss of precision in the catalogue itself.

BTW . . . 

Someone entered "Get fuzzy -- comic strip" into the database.  Is 
that a reference to an OT post?  Should I delete it?

Also, I deleted "Cho," Ginny," "Harry," "Jorkins," 
and "Hermione," "Molly," because the list will get too long if we 
include character names.  I left things like "Myrtle" where there 
might be confusion about the character's name (compare with "Moaning 
Myrtle").  I also left "Crookshanks" and "Scabber" because of the 
possibility of confusion -- 

Otherwise, I think we can assume that our general naming rule will 
make things clear:  "1. Character names -- all students go by first 
name. All adults go by last, except for where this would be 
confusing (Weasleys, Potters)."  No need to enter the name of each 
Weasley and each Potter into the database.
