In drawing editors, where there is a verb-noun noun noun ... what is really happening is that the verb is setting a mode for the editor. The difficulty that I have with noun-verb is object creation, it doesn't fit this model since there is no object to be the noun. Possible options are: create from a menu, outside the object manipulation; a template object (ie a brand new kind of object to represent the class), or a clone operation (but how do you get the first object of each kind).
