OK. I think I see how this works. The _noun_ is taken from divinity. The
_verb_ will (almost always) be a completely unrelated term.
So, a Sedonian with some familiarity with Feroze might use that word for a
traveler-explorer, possibly replacing existing terms.
"a traveler-explorer" = "feroze" (might it be "ferose" to rhyme with "gross")
"the traveler-explorer" = "yun feroze"
"the traveler-explorer God" = "Chayan Feroze"
While this change is going on, the words for the "travel" and "explore" verbs
remain the same.
Correct?
