<p class="commentary firstcommentary"><a id="SP6" class="paragraph-anchor"></a><b>&#167;6. </b>Object pronouns &mdash; let's just say, the word "it" for brevity &mdash; in an action
name are significant: they are placeholders for where the first of two nouns
is supposed to go. Thus, in the action name "unlocking it with", the word "it"
shows where to put the name of what is being unlocked.
</p>
<p class="commentary">In an "abbreviable" action name, the preposition after the "it" can be omitted
in source text: thus "unlocking it" would do as well as "unlocking it with".
</p>
<p class="commentary">And even the "it" can be omitted, taking us right down to "unlocking", but only
if there is not ambiguity in doing so. We became more careful about this when an
author innocently created different actions called "pointing at" and "pointing
it at" in the same work: the trouble being that "pointing" might be a legal
abbreviation for both of them. The following looks for action names which
overlap in this way, so that permission to lose the "it" can be withdrawn in
their cases:

example, it allows "listening" to match the listening to action; this is
needed because of the almost unique status of "listening" in having an
optional noun. (Unabbreviated action names always win if there's an
