I have a system which has the following structure:
Inbound > Open > Pending > Awaiting reply > Ready > Closed
I'd like to use single-words, so the one that sticks out like a sore thumb is "Awaiting reply".
I obviously can't use "Pending" because that's already in use. And "Awaiting" is too similar to "Pending".
Is there a word for "waiting for a reply"?

How about "Unanswered"?
I know it's not the perfect answer -- it's not clear whether the items are unanswered by other people or unanswered by you. But then, the same could be said of "awaiting reply" :-)
