Louis Davidson's textbook uses the term "migrate" when a PK -->FK (PK becomes a FK in another dB). He makes it sound like it's standard usuage; I guess it's not-- but I like the sound of it because in those "relationship" diagrams the keys are shown with a solid or dashed line going to another table.
