It you always start with the long id of the target and then delete 4
words for each level you want to move up in the hierarchy you will be
safe.
put the long id of the target into theID
delete word 1 to 4 of theID -- gives the owner
delete word 1 to 8 of theID -- gives the owner of the owner
.. etc.
IMO "the owner" should work in your scenario but it doesn't.
