After having a quick look at the last release here in one potential 
problem which the curators might face.

example

term name: rachis.
The term appears twice in the ontology. Once as a term itself

Rachis:PO:0020055: The main axis of a pinnate or more highly compound leaf.


and second time as a synonym of
Peduncle:PO:0009053, The stalk of an inflorescence.

Can we adopt a rule here to always prefix the second anatomy term like 
leaf/inflorescence thus making it distinguishable. In this example it 
will be
leaf rachis  PO:0020055
and
Peduncle:PO:0009053 synonym; inflorescence rachis
