Below is a list of all the functions that are associated with grammar statements in verbs.library. It is not, however, a complete list of all the possible command constructs the player can use. Although each function is only listed here once, in most cases there are many grammar statements mapping to that function. For example, consider the function +cut:
grammar cut *present >cut grammar chop *present >cut grammar stab *present >cut
As you can see, the function cut has three grammar statements that map to it. The list below shows only the first grammar statement that maps to each function. To see every command that will trigger a given function, search for the function name in the verbs.library file.
