I've been seeing posts incorrectly tagged with just urethral (just search urethral -urethral_penetration), and I think it might be because of this alias. urethral is a catch-all tag, sounding should be object_in_urethra, which should imply urethral_penetration, which already implies urethral.

Alternately, sounding could be aliased to urethral_penetration instead.

I was trying to make this a BUR, but I'm getting "Error: Antecedent name has already been taken (create alias sounding -> object_in_urethra)", and I'm not sure what to do about that.

You will receive that error when you try to use a tag that has been aliased away to another tag.
In this case, sounding remains aliased to urethral and therefore cannot be used in another alias.

As the BUR system does not process the requests in order, you will have to split the BUR into multiple parts.
Part 1 will focus on freeing/unaliasing sounding from urethral. After that has been approved, you may then submit Part 2 with the remainder of the BUR.
