Re: Happy New Year from your friends at Wordnik

Not a total answer but I believe that my proposal for EnumerationValue
would be helpful here <https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/issues/894>.
There is an associated pull request (#924
<https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/pull/924>) with example etc.  One
of the examples being a term from a legal dictionary.
