I understand that in several cases there is no direct relationship. I'm asking for words to describe the indirect relationships.

In particular, I want words that fill the blanks without altering surrounding grammar. I understand that you might avoid the grammar I've chosen, in which case you may not want to supply a word to fill that blank.

In (12), I'm looking for a word or short phrase describing the similarity of $bob and $sue. Since $$$bob and $$$sue both evaluate to 'flea', $bob and $sue are not unrelated and, in some sense, are "the same". However, they are not "the same" in the same way as $dog and $cat. I would like to be able to make the distinction explicit and precise.

Thank you for your effort.
