Why not use for all dictionaries the same terminology in one language (for example, and probably best, in English): like: (adj)|albescent (similar term)|light (related term)|light-colored (related term)|black (antonym)
Use the term antonym, similar term, related term, etc... If dictionary maintainers know this rule, since it will be documented, they will use it. At present, the application (Oo) would work only for the English dictionary well, later for all. Am Donnerstag, 26.
