The two categories of parts of speech especially affected by
                            conversion are nouns and verbs. Verbs made from nouns are the
                            most numerous amongst the words produced by conversion: e. g.
                            to hand, to back, to face, to eye. Nouns are frequently made from
                            verbs: do (e. g. This is the queerest do I've ever come across. Do –
                            event, incident), go (e. g. He has still plenty of go at his age. Go –
                            energy), make, run, find, catch, cut, walk, worry, show, move, etc.
                            Verbs can also be made from adjectives: to pale, to yellow, to cool,
                            to grey, to rough (e. g. We decided to rough it in the tents as the
                            weather  was  warm),  etc.  Other  parts  of  speech  are  not  entirely
                            unsusceptible  to  conversion  as  the  following  examples  show:  to
                            down, to out (as in a newspaper heading Diplomatist Outed from
                            Budapest), the ups and downs, the ins and outs, like, n. (as in the
                            like of me and the like of you), to ooooh and aaaah, the whys and
                            wherefores, etc.
                                  In the group of verbs made from nouns some of the regular
                            semantic associations are as indicated in the following list:
