This is a list of the standard verbs found in the Inform 6/10 Grammar.h file. It is arranged in reverse order, so you can look up actions by name and determine what player commands lead to any particular action. I find it useful when debugging, because I can see problem situations at a glance (i.e. I see that STAND ON PENTAGRAM is hooked to the Enter action, but then realize that CROSS PENTAGRAM does the same, when I want it to be a different action). Normally, I create one of these files for each project and add my extended grammar as the game takes shape. I hope it's useful!
