How do you get into one family or the other?

Derivation by prefix or compounding.

I'm sure Peter meant, eg : how did appeler get in one family and acheter in
the other?

But that may not be how "family" is used in the above quotation. As
there is the third group of "the other verbs", I understand the lists to
be exhaustive, and Christian's interpretation of "family" as correct.

Anything that enumerates a few items and continues with "and their
family" is not an exhaustive list.
