Subject:Looking for words From:RJACOBSE -at- GPS -dot- COM Date:Tue, 6 May 1997 11:00:27 -0500
I'm looking for alternatives to the words "parent" and "child" to describe
entities in a outline-like conceptual structure. One alternative for
"child" is "dependent," but I can't think of an easily aprehended analog
for "parent."
Is parent/child good enough, or are we overlooking some obvious
alternatives?
Thanks,
