Yes, that sounds something like it. (I guess these nouns might have been
adjectives at one time, since adjectives have some noun-like features in
Lindiga, and most of these words so far have been in the "shape" category).
I never thought about "worth", but it does seem like the same sort of
thing. Is there a technical name for this sort of word? I'm tempted to call
them "transitive nouns"....
