No, the dispatch is based on the entire command that the module registers (e.g. "show object name" will only receive
commands starting with the tokens "show", "object" and "name").

I think the problem with verb-object is that the command handling code is
designed such that multiple modules can add
additional commands when they are instantiated, and Opensimulator uses the
first word in the command to dispatch the
command to whatever module "owns" it. If it were verb-object then it
(currently) would not know how to dispatch the
command as many modules could share the verb. It might be possible to rewrite
the command dispatching code to handle the
verb-object form but then existing modules that are not in core would need to
be updated or their registered commands
would not work.

i agree verb-object is a bit confuseing with typeing compared to verb
object.
delete-region is for me not really logic, delete region is more clear.

I'm still not sure whether verb-object is better (e.g. send
appearance) or object-verb (e.g. appearance send).
I strongly vote for verb object in such computer script languages.
This works well also where there are more than one main parameter too,
as that can get confusing otherwise. Its
also the way most commands already are.
There are just a few hyphenated commands as you say. I spotted
delete-region and remove-region
command-script is an odd on as really its just run <script> script <script>
or command <script> ? But its one I
always seem to get wrong. Leaving in a few problematic ones with
hyphen and non-hyphen versions, but making the
help text and documentation give the definitive one to move forward
with might be an approach?
