-1 on using the term Container in anything but the most abstract terms (ie an
entity that hosts components). Different architectures tend to define the
term container to mean different things completely. ie CORBA Adaptors are
termed EJB Containers, each EJB-JAR partition is often refurred to as a
container and the whole EJB application server as a whole is often referred
to as a container.
That is only one facet. Try using the same terminology across domains and all
sorts of inconsistencies arise.

Entitys is too generic a term and it often used to refer to concepts other
that what you define it to refer to.

see above. And repeat for oodles more terms you used ;)
