Relators that Transcend the Types Below

Relators that transcend the types below (symbolized by ‘g’ for general):

→ga Allowing or Facilitating versus Preventing or Restraining or Denying or Deterring or Disrupting [Note that these terms, though logically distinct

from the previous set, should be somehow linked so that users searching for one will be alerted to the other.]

→gb Being or Experiencing or Occurring or Living as opposed to Dying or Not being. [Kill is (causes)(dying)]

→gc Creating or Making or Starting versus Destroying or Ending or Causing to disappear [Becoming is (Creating)(Self)] [Halt or Stop is (end)(moving)]

→ge Energizing or Arousing or Powering versus Calming (Note that this is distinct from transform or change.) [Rehabilitate is (energize)(again).]

→gh Holding or binding

→gm Moving versus Resting [Note that there are a host of ‘put’ verbs that can be captured by compounding with intensity or location] [Carry is (move)(by

hand)] [If it is found necessary to distinguish ‘moving oneself’ from ‘moving other things’ (impelling), the latter could be designated (cause)(move)]

→gt Transforming or Changing. [When we say ‘transforming X’ we mean transforming of X. If we wish to designate ‘transforming into Y’ we need to

combine ‘transform’ and ‘create’: (transforming)(creates)(Y). A process of transforming (or substituting) X into Y is (transform)(X)(creates)(Y).

Note that this also captures the inverse ‘Y derived from X.’] [Particular kinds of transformation such as ‘sculpt’ or carve’ or ‘blow glass’ should

be clear in the context of what is transformed into what. Nevertheless, further clarification is often desirable by identifying the type of transformation:

heating, cutting, mixing, fire, etc.]

→gx Mixing or Combining versus Decomposing or Separating [Wet is (combine)(with)(water)] [Integrate is (combine)(insights)]

We do not need a place for the generic word ‘process/procedure’ for any ‘process for x’ will be captured by ‘causes x’ or ‘causes x to do y.’
