Grammar
Noun Verb Syllable Shift
Can someone help me with a list of words that can be used as a Noun as well as a Verb by shifting the syllable stress from the 1st syllable to the 2nd?

I don't know whether a comprehensive list exists. Most grammar books and sites only list some representative examples. Here's what mine includes: present conduct decrease export import increase insult permit progress protest record suspect transfer transport upset
