Hello,
I want to know can I recruit "pair" as a noun instead of "pairing" in the following sentence?
I have got another question which I think it is somehow related to the above question.
Consider we have a verb like "live." The noun of the "live" is "life." In addition we can make another noun (living) using gerund.
The question arises here is what's the difference between life and living? I mean some verbs have their own nouns but we can generate other nouns for them via gerund!
If I want to choose a title for my book, which of the two following choices are appropriate?
1) Worth life
2) Worth living
Which of the sentences below is correct?
1) I envy his worth life.
2) I envy his worth living.
Thank you in advance,

These examples show that the relation between sound and meaning is an arbitrary pairing, as discussed in chapter1.
