It cannot be used as a verb. Not in my world. :-)

5. Well, you can present a present!
:evilgrin: That said, no, gift is not a verb. I think of it as one of those noun-to-verb words that only snooty upper class people use, like "summer."

12. "Bequeath" is a verb, but nobody who does it lives to talk about it.
