Hoi, For me referring to SKOS or whatever feels like an elaborate hoax laying the blame elsewhere. Labels are what items are knows by. They exist to identify. They exist in many languages and as we identify items by labels in many languages there has to be a way to deal with the differences between those labels.
The decision not to have qualifiers to labels is based on what was called "easy identification". Identification is not easy nor obvious. Thanks, GerardM

David, I am not familiar with Wiktionary and its datamodel. But your summary
looks like
SKOS [1] would be a good fit.
SKOS is a good fit for Wikidata data items. For modeling Wiktionary, LEMON fits a lot better http://lemon-model.net/.
If you look at our RDF mapping (e.g. < https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q64.ttl%3E), we do already use skos:prefLabel and skos:altLabel.
(Note: The RDF mapping does not yet include claims at all, it's currently only for labels, descriptions, aliases, and site links).
