weaponize.01: WEAPONIZE-V NOTES: Updated by Julia. No Vncls. This would be better split into two senses-- the original file contained args for giving weapons to a recipient, yet all the examples were of turning a substance into a weapon. This version is trying to reconcile the two for the sake of whatever might have been done in the past, since it was completely unclear. (from weaponize.01-v)
