That's the basic rule abouit English - the rules always get broken.

I think the difference with those words is probably that the noun came first, and the verb was coined as an extension of it, whereas with the other ones it's the other way round, or something like that.

As I've said elsewhere, Spanish would be a far better world language than Engklish.
