Unable to delete duplicate (?) link types

Six link types are defined in the Link Preferences of my BE installation:

Book : Book Section
Review : Work Reviewed
Work : Work Cited
Work : Commentary
Work Translated : Translation
Translation : Work Translated

But the popup menu of the record inspector in my database lists two additional types, duplicates of the Work Translated : Translation pair:

Book : Book Section
Review : Work Reviewed
Work : Work Cited
Work : Commentary
Work Translated : Translation
Translation : Work Translated
Work Translated : Translation
Translation : Work Translated

The duplicate pair is not defined in the Preferences dialog; every slot for the link types apart from the six noted above is set to Undefined. Can anyone here advise me on how to delete the duplicate entries in the popup? Is there perhaps a SQL search I can use to detect spuriously typed records? That is, I'd like to make sure that all of the Work Translated : Translation pairings have been set using only the first two types. (Would that help to clear out the duplicate menu items?)

Thanks in advance, TH

You'll have to send me your file Bookends Preferences and I'll take a look.
