USE:
- Use form one to growl indiscriminately, for instance at life in general.
- Use form two when there's no possible ambiguity. In the example, there's only one statue present.
- Use form three when there are many instances of <thing> present, and you want to growl at one of them in particular.
- Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb.
- Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb.
- Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb.
- Use forms four through eight to add a modifier, typically an intensifying adverb, to the verb.

As is typical of most TriadCity commands, Growl searches for <thing>
in a specific order, starting with the room you're in, then your worn or wielded equipment,
then your inventory. So, if there's a box in the room, and a box in your inventory, the command
"growl box" will refer to the one in the room, not your inventory. You'd need to use
"growl 2.box" for the latter.
Growl
can be modified with an arbitrary word of your choice.
Usually you'll use an intensifying adverb as shown in the examples
above. Note that
Growl
does not use this modifier as a search specifier when
looking for <thing>. Instead
Growl
displays this modifier via the Game channel.
Thus you can "growl menacingly", "growl sarcastically,",
and so on. You can also "growl 18373649" or "growl toothpaste-like",
so, please don't. It's up to you to get the syntax right.

"Like the bricoleur, Eliot extracts certain elements (generally sentences or lines) from organized wholes of various nature, and chooses precisely those elements which are capable of performing a new fuction, more or less distanced from the original, in the new structure. [...] The 'fragment' has become a function: what is striking is no longer that it is dislocated and mangled, but that it possesses a precise meaning and role, and that it contributes effectively towards the composition of a new organized whole."
