I added this as an enumeration since there are more
than one system or method.

	F. VERB To ENUMERATION.
		1. VERB: Specific instances of a class of actions.
			a. to cut -> to slice; to chop; to hack; to pare;
to prune; ...
		2. NOUN: Specific action to category name of style
of action
			a. to fight -> {Judo; Karate; boxing; fencing; ...}
		3. ADJECTIVE: Specific action to style category of
action.
			a. to sing -> {operatic; popular; country; ...}

also
 lava -> to erupt
 urine -> to urinate

This seems to fit this group, I think:

V. From PREPOSITION.
	A. PREPOSITION To VERB.
		1. Action to result in the position.
			a. within -> to enter
			b. aboard -> to board

======================================

I think that might fit here:

	A. NOUN To VERB.
...
		4. Action performed with named object, part, tool,
or implement.
			a. hammer -> to hammer; to pound
			b. saw -> to saw
			c. oven -> to bake
			d. container -> to contain
			e. eye -> to see

My intention was the very next level of abstraction,
colloquially, so that apple->fruit as opposed to
apple->mass-of-protons-and-electrons.

=========================================

	B. NOUN To NOUN
...
		10. Characteristic container.
			a. tool -> toolbox
			b. arrow -> quiver
			c. knife -> sheath
			d. gun -> holster

I don't understand this one.
