Yes, they do do it- they are perfectly adequate
words, whether used as nouns or verbs.

| If you're looking for something that rhymes with purser and has
approximately the right meaning, it could be "bursar."
I don't know if that's the actual term or not. However, compared
with the Queen's recent effort to try and mostly speak English,
this is certainly no worser.

"Instellation" is the obvious choice in this case.

| The person who accompanies the Queen and pays for her purchases is an
equerry, I believe.

Actually, I recently put a great deal of thought into the question "who
pays for George Bush's purchases?"
The answer was revealed on network news: George is his own burser.
While visiting an elementry school, a young child asked Bush, "how do I
know you are really George Bush? Prove it." Naturally, George was
stymied momentarily, until the obvious answer came to him: he pulled
out his American Express card! (I wonder if it was the Corporate Card,
and if so, would it say "White House" under his name?)

It wouldn't happen to be the Duke of Edinburgh, would it?
