Oh I'm sorry, I had you wrong. You do have a good point. I guess the best we
can do for a verb substitute is to use "to do". It does sort of represent
the "generic verb".

But you have to use "to be" if you want to replace stative or passive verbs,
so it's not universal.

So y'all's conlangs... what do you have that might relate?
