Hi Jeff, There shouldn't be any problems doing that.
And here is a secret .... In the class DefaultTermConsumer there is the ability to read in a "blacklist" of terms that should be excluded. This is in the trunk version of ctakes. If you are comfortable reading java code you can have a look and see if that is easier for you to use.

Is there any concern about corrupting the rare term look up? If there is another way to suppress certain synonyms for a CUI that would be fine too, but as far as I know I can only augment a dictionary with a BSV file, not take away a synonym. Thanks, Jeff
