New concepts #1402

Open MuffinLinwist opened 2 weeks ago

MuffinLinwist commented 2 weeks ago

As raised by #1401, there are lists with unmapped entries regarding the following possible new concepts:

We can debate whether this suggestions are useful and I can easily prepare a PR for them in October, after I finish my current tasks.

It is a good idea to add new concepts in this form. We should just make sure that they have no counterparts already mapped (e.g., foreigner sounds suspicious, like "stranger", but we can check).

I thought so while looking at the past mappings, and in one case, it was mapped to 'stranger.' I'm not sure if there's a difference significant enough to justify creating a new concept, but it's definitely worth debating. If we decide not to do it, I can map the entries in the other lists and include them in the PR with the new concepts.
