When I think of the difference between {ngeD} and {nap}, it brings to mind 
a type of phrase that I've heard used to advertise specific strategy games 
- "[This game takes] minutes to learn, [but requires] a life time to 
master!" For example, Chess may be (relatively) {nap}, but to win it is 
usually not {ngeD}.. I would go along ter'eS's description, and say that 
{nap} describes an object or concept (such as the rules of Chess), but 
{ngeD} would describe a task (such as the task of winning Chess).
