	Comments:	IMO, the best policy for those words is usually to give as brief an english description as possible (e.g. "female medium") and x-ref to an entry that has the details.

	Comments:	It's too bad that we can't use more precise words in definitions. A miko isn't just a medium, it's a precise type of medium.
