BL has the concepts of "objects" and "classes". Objects are things you
actually see in the game; classes are collections of objects of related types.
Each object is a member of only one class. In theory, classes can have many
objects as members, but in practice many classes have only one object as a
member.
There are four types of "synonym" in BL. The first type is the direct
synonym, whereby a single object (and ONLY that object) can be referred to by
a synonym. Example: CS is a synonym of CANDLESTICK. The second type is only
an apparent synonym, in that objects can be referred to by their class names.
Thus, what may be used as a synonym in practice isn't necessarily a one-on-one
relationship. Example: BLOODSTONE and AMETHYST can both be referred to as GEM.
The third type is where the class itself has a synonym. Example: COINS is a
synonym of MONEY (the class which has COIN, DOUBLOONS, PIECES and GROATS as
members). The final type synonym is the general, of which there are two: ALL
and TREASURE. These can act as "synonyms" for many objects.
Commands can also have synonyms, but they are more awkward to pin
down. This is because commands can be defined to do the same thing without
their actually being official "synonyms". Only direct synonyms are considered
here.
So, what I have done is to edit the actual source files of BL to produce
a list of all synonyms. Actually, that's not entirely true: I edited the
source files for MUD1, rather than BL, and there may be minor differences.
I think you'll find it's pretty near comprehensive, though.
These are class synonyms. The "real" class name is the second word on
the line, and the synonym is the first.

BL completely ignores these words. The presence of names in the list
is because that way players can't use them for their personae.

bartle |

repeat |
These are synonyms for miscellaneous non-nouns (mainly verbs, but
not entirely). As
usual, the synonym comes first, the "real" word second. Oh, I ought to warn
