Y’all, VERBOID. Petition to use verboid for all things verby from here to forever.
Side note, I love that the -oid suffix comes from εἶδος, so it's something that has the look/shape of something else (humanoid = human-looking, having the εἶδος of a human). Not a verb, but a thing that LOOKS like a form...But it could ACTUALLY be anything. Constant vigilance!
Also the wackily diverse words coming from that *weid- root are extremely fun.
