English "to"
Section Etymology included the following sentence:
 * Literally, hoo is a particle used to make an actualizing verb from the following noun, as would "to" before a noun in English.

This is patently incorrect, e.g. (the prefixed asterisk is linguistic notation for an incorrect form): are not verbs. Some such derived verbs do exist, but the process is by no means automatic like suffixing "-ing" to form the present participle of a verb. I have deleted the bolded text.
 * *to car
 * *to temperature
 * *to cat
 * *to lamp
 * *to banana
