Use of the term "pseudo-topic"

The following is the definition of the navigation token for @title-role.
It appears in the <titlealt> topic.
Specifies that the content of the <titlealt> element contains the title for use in tables of content and other navigation aids.
In some cases, when processing a <titlealt> that has no @href , this also is used as the title of the generated pseudo-topic, if applicable.
If not present, this role is fulfilled by the linking role.
Can we come up with wording that does not include pseudo-top ?
If not, how should we define pseudo-topic ?
