In linguistics, troponymy is the presence of a 'manner' relation between two lexemes.
The concept was originally proposed by Christiane Fellbaum and George Miller.[1] Some examples they gave are "to nibble is to eat in a certain manner, and to gorge is to eat in a different manner. Similarly, to traipse or to mince is to walk in some manner".[2]
Troponymy is one of the possible relations between verbs in the semantic network of the WordNet database.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
