Description
https://w3c.github.io/string-meta/#language-entry-idl currently says
lang member
(Optional) A LanguageTag that overrides or amends the lang member in a LanguageEntry of a LanguageMap. This field is rarely used.
That is, the lang member in a LanguageEntry is defined as overriding the lang member in a LanguageEntry.
I think this was intended to say that when the LanguageEntry is the value in an entry in a LanguageMap record, its lang member overrides the key of that entry.

Research direction
Start with the lang member definition in the language-entry-idl section of the linked String Meta specification, then read the surrounding LanguageEntry and LanguageMap definitions. Update the circular reference so it describes the intended relationship between a LanguageEntry value and its LanguageMap entry key. Done means the definition is unambiguous and no longer refers to the lang member as overriding itself.
