>Yeah but surely there is a directory somewhere that explains this?

No, there's 5 different directories in 3 different formats compiled across the last 8 years representing the state of 80% of terms at the time it was last updated, half of which disagree with another version.

I gotta say, I think that's actually just bad technical management, so I suppose it's probably common. Although I will admit Conway's law here.

Nevertheless, the same phenomenon that leads to multiple directories will also mean that supposedly "descriptive" names, will not be.
