Phillipe, I haven't followed this thread, so someone
else may have pointed this out already, but "to dog"
and "to absent" ARE verbs in English.  To dog someone
is to  follow closely and persistently, persue, track
(i.e. to mimick one of the dog's particular skills).
To absent is very formal, but used -- He absented
himself from the boardroom while they discussed
renegotiating his contract.
