Thank you very much for your help |
I know of no such list, though there may well be one in the documentation for the Java programming language (or any other object-oriented language for that matter). For example, all the ones you list (except dose) would be instances of the 'container' class (if you'll excuse the lapse into Javanese
)
A less technological approach would be to look them all up in a Thesaurus, hoping to find a common expression.
