LexALP Term Bank
Each term within a legal system is stored as a separate terminological entry
for a single term within a language there are multiple entries, usually one per legal system
other terminological databases: one entry containing all languages and all legal systems

“related axie”

The entries “streng geschützte Art“ (A) and “besonders geschützte Art” (B) may not be connected to the main axie, because there’s no “inter-lingual acception” with “rechtlich geschützte Art”: subsumed concepts! A and B may not be connected to the same related axie either, because of missing inter-lingual acception between A und B.
