Across locales

What each covering migration carries for this concept, per locale — the whole-brain view, not filtered by your language. Forms are the migration's leaf values (pre-transform, pre-human-verdict); a locale without a form falls back to canonical English. Chips open that locale's live docs page for this term.

Explanation

'Stretnemstap' translates to 'fixed name'. 'Stretnem' (set name) captures the naming aspect, and 'stap' (stay) emphasizes the immutability. This is more idiomatic than 'strongstoa'.

Issue breakdown

accuracy Accurate in meaning (strong store), but feels constructed and less natural.
specificity Near-conflation with 'value' as both imply immutability.
