If the system returns the same result word that was in the query, doesn't that just mean that the word doesn't have the intrinsic meanings you thought it did?

Besides that it's actually "King - Man + Woman = Queen [Regnant]", which broken down into smaller pieces should be "King - Man = Monarch", "Monarch + Woman = Queen [Regnant]". Then you also have the complicating factor of "Monarch + Wife = Queen [Consort]" and "Monarch + Husband = Prince [Consort]". It seems obvious from this, and "Husband - Man = Spouse" and "Wife - Woman = Spouse" that "Monarch + Spouse = Consort".

This allows a little thought experiment. If the king marries a man, you have a king and a prince. That's fine; no ambiguity there. If the queen [regnant] marries a woman, you have a queen and a queen. This is confusingly ambiguous. Do you rename the queen [regnant] to king, or do you rename the queen [consort] to princess [consort]?
