I was asking you to string three nouns together and verbify the resulting noun, like you effortlessly do in a language like German.

Also, note how your verbified noun is identical to the original noun. That's the lacking grammar of the bastardised English language showing.

The grammar isn't lacking, it's just that word function is determined by its position in the sentence and/or prepositions, rather than word mutation.

With respect to composite-noun-verbifying, it works so long as you use hyphens to make clear it's a single unit.
