Knighting aliases

Posted under Tags

BUR #21295 has been rejected.

create alias accolade -> knighting
create alias adoubement -> knighting

Various other terms by which this ceremony is known and terms that might more naturally come to mind for some people. "Dubbing" is also a term but it'd probably need a qualifier of some sorts if aliased, kinda ambiguous.
Afaik technically "knighting" is the whole process of being made a knight while accolade/adoubement is the specific gesture of sword-to-shoulder, but the distinction doesn't really matter I think.

Accolade in modern times means receiving an award, especially for things like movies and video games, so I don't think it would be a great alias.

That's true, I didn't think about that meaning. Hmm, maybe with a qualifier of some kind to specify? Could also apply it to a dubbing alias. Something like _(knighting) or such.
