Yet some more:

   lookup
   cross-reference
   related to ( a "relation" )
   associated with
   duplicate
   symbolic reference
   dispatch table

Sometimes you can cut right through that thinking stuff and
head right on over to the solution:

        I don't know what your original problem is,
        but I suggest to use a hash. --Rafael Garcia-Suarez
