Well, at least the source code admits it because this is the synonyms and adjectives for SHEET:

    (SYNONYM SHEET STRIPS END ROPE)
    (ADJECTIVE OTHER SHEE CLOTH) ;"no synonym slots left...sigh"

According to the ZIL documentation, there can only be four synonyms, but you should be able to have up to eight adjectives. So it might be possible to get some more sensible synonyms in there, even if they are adjectives?

Note that the Solid Gold version has the exact same synonyms and adjectives, even though from what I understand this restriction has been relaxed in EZIP (v4) and later. (There are objects is Trinity with at least eight synonyms.)
