And the word actually *means* 'empty tomb': 'ancient Greek

+1, I have added the tomb=cenotaph tag to
the proposal:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/tombs#Subtagging_types
the tag
tomb=cenotaph
would be like
building=no_building
makes little sense.
Cenotaphs are memorials/monuments. Not the place of burial therefore not
a tomb.
A small sample of past use in OSM are;
Node The Cenotaph (59598355) - London, UK
Way The Cenotaph (99953212)' San Antonio, USA
Node (1290835360) - Cenotaph - Montreal, Canada
Node: Cenotaph (3687638609) Hiroshima, Japan
Node: Cenotaph (2434280368) Saskatchewan, Canada
Node: Penang Cenotaph (1726781335) Malaysia
Node: Cenotaph (4011033735) Belfast, Ireland
The meaning of the Greek root ... and the meaning of the present English
are different as happens over time and with translations between
languages (Greek-Latin-English).
