Then it isn't an answer to the question, is it?
But interpreting you more widely, if the aircraft component primarily associated with the momentum reduction is the reverser itself, why would anyone want to call the resultant force "inlet ...", or or "intake...." anything? Why wouldn't they call it "reverser vane load"?
