Folks are talking about the term "Orlanthi" being "overloaded". So what? Let us look at the term "Greek".

It can mean the following:

People of a specific modern ethnic persuasion. Any one of a number of languages ("dialects" if you bought into the military/fascist coup's propaganda a few decades ago in Greece). A Church or group of Churches.
Being Christian in and of itself (yes, it has been used like that in the 19th century, at least--specifically in Greece while it was under the Ottoman Empire).
A "certain practice" <ahem>.

I see nothing wrong with "overloading" "Orlanthi".

But what "certain practice" <ahem> would go along with "Orlanthi"?
