Misleading axiom in wordnet example?

Hi all, I spotted a misleading axiom in the wordnet example from Ontolex wiki page (https://www.w3.org/community/ontolex/wiki/Final_Model_Specification#WordNet_in_OntoLex.2FLemon):

<#1-n> a ontolex:LexicalSense ;
    wordnet-ontology:gloss "feline mammal usually having thick soft fur and no ability to roar: domestic cats; wildcats"@eng ;
    wordnet-ontology:lex_id 0 ;
    wordnet-ontology:old_sense_key "cat%1:05:00::" ;
    wordnet-ontology:sense_number 1 ;
    wordnet-ontology:tag_count 18 ;
    ontolex:reference <http://wordnet-rdf.princeton.edu/wn31/102124584-n> ;
    owl:sameAs <http://lemon-model.net/lexica/uby/wn/WN_Sense_574>,
        <http://www.lexvo.org/page/wordnet/30/noun/cat_1_05_00> .

There we say that a lexical sense (apparently the wordnet word sense cat_1, declared as the same as other senses from other RDF versions of Wordnet (btw why not also the official ones made for w3c and by Amsterdam?) has ontolex:reference a synset from wn31.

Technically there is nothing horrible about claiming that a wordnet sense references an ontology entity that is also a/its wordnet synset, but let me say this this is massively confusing for most people :).

In fact, the Core says that the relation between senses and synsets is the one between lexical senses and concepts: “ontolex:isLexicalizedSenseOf”. I expect to get that one, even if the sense exemplified there is not said to be from wn31 necessarily.

Instead, with ontolex:reference we probably want to show a real example of linking between lexical linked data and mundane ontologies, so why don’t we use a normal class such as:
