LITERAL | POSSESSED | voice | In constructed languagesThe object–verb–subject sequence also occurs in Interlingua, although the Interlingua Grammar makes no mention of it accepting passive voice. | Since all of these languages have ergative–absolutive alignment, their word order isn't "object–verb–subject" in the traditional sense, but might be more accurately described as absolutive–verb–ergative (AVE) (see also: syntactic ergativity). | At least three of these languages – Makushi, Arekuna, and Päri – mark absolutive agreement on a verb with a prefix and ergative agreement with a suffix, indicating an AVE-like structure on a deeper syntactic level. | Thomas Breinstrup, editor in chief of Panorama in Interlingua, sometimes uses the sequence in articles written for Panorama. | This sequence was chosen for the constructed language Klingon, a language spoken by the extraterrestrial Klingon race in the fictional universe of the Star Trek series, in order to make the language sound deliberately alien and counterintuitive. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object%E2%80%93verb%E2%80%93subject%20word%20order | Object–verb–subject word order |

METONYMIC | POSSESSED | talent | Led by Oakland Raiders owner and AFL commissioner Al Davis, the AFL established a "war chest" to entice top talent with higher pay than they got from the NFL. | The AFL worked hard to secure top college players, many from sources virtually untapped by the established league: small colleges and predominantly black colleges. | Two of the eight coaches of the Original Eight AFL franchises, Hank Stram (Texans/Chiefs) and Sid Gillman (Chargers) eventually were inducted to the Hall of Fame. | Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Babe Parilli became a star for the Boston Patriots during the early years of the AFL, and University of Alabama passer Joe Namath rejected the NFL to play for the New York Jets. | Namath became the face of the league as it reached its height of popularity in the mid-1960s. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History%20of%20American%20football | History of American football |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | advocate | Legal representation is invariably the province of legally qualified advocates and in many jurisdictions, the right of audience as an advocate is confined by law to those so qualified. | A large portion of a forensic physician's duty is to assist in inquiries into sudden and suspicious deaths and to examine individuals in connections with allegations of sexual offenses. | They also provide expert evidence in court but the notion that they represent individuals in court proceedings reveals a misconception of their role. | Physicians' rules for forensic science: Any natural scientist who wishes to practice forensic science must obviously acquire forensic knowledge. | Not all forensic scientists, however, are medically qualified and nor do medical practitioners have a monopoly in forensic science. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanatology | Thanatology |

LITERAL | POSSESSED | strings | Like the languages that inspired it, the primary area of use of Icon is managing strings and textual patterns. | After moving to the University of Arizona, he further developed the underlying SNOBOL concepts in SL5, but considered the result to be a failure. | This led to the significantly updated Icon, which blends the short but conceptually dense code of SNOBOL-like languages with the more familiar syntax of ALGOL-inspired languages like C or Pascal. | String operations often fail, for instance, finding "the" in "world". | In most languages, this requires testing and branching to avoid using a non-valid result. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icon%20%28programming%20language%29 | Icon (programming language) |

He first came to national attention as a member of the New Zealand Army rugby team of 1919 which won the King's Cup tournament in Britain and then toured South Africa. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whanganui%20Rugby%20Football%20Union | Whanganui Rugby Football Union |
LITERAL | POSSESSED | tones | Matthew Mercer enjoyed voicing Kuroiwa but found the character's different tones to be challenging. | Noting that fans tended to choose the original Japanese audio, Chun suggested that they try the English dub to test his voice. | He was surprised by Yagami's deep character arc, which involved Yagami's present life as well as dealing with his past life as a lawyer, and said that he would never forget the role. | Crispin Freeman enjoyed his work because he considered Kaito to be likable. | Other actors include Brian McNamara as Genda, Matthew Yang King as Ayabe, and Cherami Leigh as Fujii. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment%20%28video%20game%29 | Judgment (video game) |
