*******************************************************************************
Latin-to-Germanic Verb Mappings
*******************************************************************************

This reference provides Germanic alternatives to Latin-derived verbs from
:doc:`nomenclature`. These are provided primarily for reference and for cases
where linguistic consistency with Germanic nouns is desired.

The main :doc:`nomenclature` guide uses Latin-derived terms as the project
default, but these Germanic alternatives can be used to maintain linguistic
consistency within related function names, class hierarchies, or module-level
names.
