The lexicographer observed that the two headwords were synonymal, reflecting an obsolete usage recorded in earlier editions.

The linguistics seminar examined several controversial synonymizations that had been proposed for the historical corpus.

After thoroughly reviewing the literature and type specimens, the taxonomist concluded that Panthera leo persica is a senior synonym of several names published later.

When two species names refer to the same animal, the later-published name is treated as a junior synonym under the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.

During the workshop, we compiled a list of senior synonyms to use in the style guide.

During the museum's cataloging project, many junior synonyms were discovered and had to be cross-referenced.

The metadata librarian created a synonym ring to map equivalent subject headings across different thesauri.

Writers often consult near-synonyms to avoid repetition without changing the nuance.

A near-synonym in the textbook caused students to debate which word better captured the author's intended nuance.

Because the two names belonged to different ranks, the compiler treated the older name as a subjective synonym of the newer one based partly on personal judgment.
