As a Noun/Verb Pair, the related noun is "address" or "residence" (or 'abode') -- it's the place where you live (or the street address of any place). The sign for ADDRESS (a noun) is "static," meaning that is has short movements. Verbs are "action words" and are performed with longer, smoother motions. Compare EAT and FOOD; SIT and CHAIR; FLY and AIRPLANE. LIVE and ADDRESS. Verbs tend to be signed as 'active' (bigger, smoother) and nouns tend to be shown as 'static.'
