Besides, "wispfox" is just a more versatile word in terms of the range of things you can express with it. It's one of the reasons English is so hard to learn -- there's a whole chapter on it in most ESL textbooks.
Not really! English is full of extremely versatile verbs. You can get a wider range of useful sentences with "get" or "put" than I just did with "wispfox" -- I was just trying to get a diverse set of uses. You can't just put any arbitrary word into verb form in English and get it to do all things that all verbs can do.
