I'd wager that humans have much more neural hardware relating to verbs, since they relate to the things you yourself do over longer periods. Let's say I clean my bathroom, or my kitchen, or something else - the actions I take are very similar, and my head has to keep my body doing the right thing for long stretches of time. It's much harder to clean the wrong thing than to clean the thing wrong.
