To clarify: that these triggers do produce (radically) different results when provided in varying compositional context, like "as cartoon", "as painting", etc, (i.e, "a as b") suggests that these are just random alliterations that serve merely by accident as synonyms, rather than having a specific value in that position. The latter being a requirement for language. (And it wouldn't be too far fetched to supposed that these are just some "residual" values, when showing up in pseudo-textual compositions. As there had to be some trigger for that.)
