One last idea, then I’ll stop my bikeshedding:
I think it helps if it reads well. For example:
const Employee = Person refinedBy { ... }
const Employee = Person subsuming { ... }
const Employee = Person parenting { ... }
const Employee = Person above { ... }
const Employee = Person before { ... }
The above examples are almost English (well, to programmers, anyway).
