PowerShell: list of approved verbs

A list of approved verbs can be produced like so:

get-verb | sort-object group | select-object group, verb

Some of these verbs come in semantic pairs (such as Open and Close)

These verbs are (PowerShell 7.1):

Common

`Add` and `Remove`
`Clear` and `Set`
`Copy`	Apparently, there is no approved verb `Paste`
`Enter` and `Exit`	Used for commands such as `enter-vsDevShell`
`Search` and `Find`	… but no `Replace`
`Format`
`Get`	The «default» verb if none is specifed
`Join` and `Split`
`Lock` and `Unlock`
`Move`
`New`
`Open` and `Close`
`Optimize`
`Push` and `Pop`
`Redo` and `Undo`
`Rename`
`Reset`
`Resize`
`Select`
`Show` and `Hide`
`Skip`
`Step`
`Switch`
`Watch`

`Backup` and `Restore`
`Checkpoint`
`Compare`
`Compress` and `Expand`
`Convert, ConvertFrom, ConvertTo`
`Edit`
`Group`
`Import` and `Export`
`Initialize`
`Limit`
`Merge`
`Mount` and `Dismount`
`Out`
`Publish` and `Unpublish`
`Save`	`Load` is not an approved verb!
`Sync`
`Update`

`Approve`
`Assert`
`Build`	Might be used instead of the missing `Compile` verb. PowerShell 5 even lacks `Build`!
`Complete`
`Confirm`
`Deny`	Compare with Revoke of Security
`Deploy`	Missing in PowerShell 5.
`Enable` and `Disable`
`Install` and `Uninstall`
`Invoke`
`Register` and `Unregister`
`Request`
`Start` and `Stop`, `Suspend` and `Resume`, `Restart`
`Submit`
`Wait`

`Block` and `Unblock`
`Grant` and `Revoke`	compare with `Deny` of Lifecycle
`Protect` and `Unprotect`

Use

I wish there was an Execute verb (for which Invoke seems to be an alternative)

Create is also not approved as verb. Instead, New is suggested as alternative.

Then, there is no Compile. PowerShell 7 at least has Build.
