Hi, Tom,
Should you make a list of verbs that are easily construed as reciprocal?
e.g. kiss, fight, discuss....
Also, should you brainstorm a list of types of relationships. I'm not
thinking about attempting to make this list comprehensive; just
brainstorming some categories and seeing how many Mandai verbs you can put
into each.
e.g.
Here are three categories & nine sample verbs...
MEET
in parking (car meets lot)
in buying (money meets cashier)
in striking (fist and face collide)
MERGE
in sex (being + being)
in nutrition (being + food)
in writing (ink + paper)
...
PART
in writing (pen from ink)
in exhaling (air from being)
in selling (money from being)
Again, this could all be unsuitable, but I hope it helps.
All the best,
Jim
