In which case you need a skos:Term class.

BTW there was a reconciliary proposal by Dan Brickley to indeed use the 
more complex model but provide a rule set with which you can 
automatically convert to the simpler (current) model. But I don't know 
if that would be useful as the conversion would probably be difficult 
the other way around.

Look at all the places where WordNet is used :-)
A Term class basically means starting to use a model very similar to 
WordNet's.

See [1,2,3].
