So creating redirects for different forms of a word is not a concern
for "most" languages.
Quibbles aside, synonymous terms like "car" and "automobile" occur in
all languages. (Except maybe conlangs, I suppose.)
I think another way to word the proposal is:
"Upon article submit, extract all of the by-hand-specially-marked
synonyms and create redirect articles for the synonyms that don't
already have articles."
