:      Hmmm. Good point. Let me try to get a better grip on this. We have verbs
: whose definitions begin with the word "be", like:
:                          {bIr} = "be cold"
:      That is definitely okay to use as an adjective. 
: 
:      We have intransitive verbs that do not have "be" in their definition:
:                          {ba'} = "sit"
:      This is definitely not okay to use as an adjective.
