Suggestion:
apt-get install wordnet
wn pertaining -synsv
(actually, mindlessly using wn -over works as well most of the time
and is simpler to memorize)
However, in this case, I wouldn't bother:
1. In this sentence, the meaning can be trivially blarghed from the
context.
2. Using simple English is good in help files, but it can look
awkward next to legalese.
(And yeah, me be a nyet-native speaker, too).
Cheers and schtuff,
