Hi Jamshid,
given, we knew, what nouns and verbs are,
verbs just happen to relate nouns to each other, often.
Like carbon in chemistry. "to beat" has two open connections.
"to give" has three open connections.
I beat him.
I gave him a book.
To count nouns and verbs, and to deduct from the
greater number of nouns, that they carry more information,
has to be proved. First You'd need a measure for information.

Yes, in a way. And still it is an illusion.
As You seem to be an excellently educated man:
Goethe, Faust, erster Teil,
Und sehe, daß wir nichts wissen können!
And I see, that we can't know anyting.
