I believe that was my original question.
And still I'm saying that as long as there is no case
where *in English* the two phrases "one who verbs object"
and "verber of object" are different, it's no use sweating
over how to *read* {noun verb-wI'} *if* the noun makes sense
as an object of {verb} (otherwise it obviously has to be
"verber of noun").
