add/sub/mul/div/mod/neg/pow/log (arithmetics)

dry/wet (e.g. https://www.gresearch.co.uk/article/in-praise-of-dry-run/#finishing-the-example)

min/max/sum/avg (statistics, "avg" = "average")

val/ref (value semantics vs. reference semantics)

copy/move

easy/hard (not sure about use cases for that one)

fast/slow

full/part ("part" = partial")

idle/busy

incr/decr (increment/decrement, increase/decrease)

Phew 😅 ! Make a PR. Try to insert them by length and approximate alphabetical order within the list...
