nounify and verbify of symbols which don't already have noun/verb properties and which aren't Maxima symbols (i.e. $foo or %foo) should give an error.

    I dunno -- if nounify('?foo) reports an error, then '?foo(a, b) should report an error too, and I'm not convinced we want that.

    Maybe nounify and verbify applied to symbols other than ones with dollar sign or percent sign should be no-ops.

    You have a point, and your solution makes sense.
    What about mplus, mdo, etc.?
