An exegete [a person] writes an exegesis [a text]. The verb would still be writes (or explains, if orally). Just as a poet writes/recites a poem.

Maybe if we put it into context, we would understand why there is no verb form. Let me put it this way... Do you write or do you poem? Do you eat or do you food? Do you groom or do you handsome? Likewise, you can be a poet or a foodie or handsome but you're not a writes or an eats or a grooms (though you can be a writer, or a groom) But for our purposes, we could say "<em>to exegetically examine</em>" but that doesn't roll off the tongue does it?

I am Bible teacher, and your posts has definitely encouraged me to seek the truth in the scripture, rather than using the scripture out of context to support my own agenda. Thank you for your post, I am still feeling like there should be a verb form of the word. -b Well put, a wonderful grammar lesson and quite convicting as well.
