    <thetext>With the exception of &quot;combobox&quot; and &quot;contentinfo&quot;, all existing ARIA roles are complete words or concatenations of complete words. In almost all cases, the role&apos;s name is the same as the complete word or term by which the element is conventionally referred to, e.g. link, article, button, list, listitem, combobox. The &quot;img&quot; role is the exception, and authors are prone to mistakenly, but understandably, use role=&quot;image&quot;, which won&apos;t work. 

Recommend adding role=&quot;image&quot; as a synonym for role=&quot;img&quot; to avoid author confusion and error.</thetext>
