To some extent, you are wrong.
1. Stab as a verb is not "Ogun". It is "gun".
"Ogun" is not an action word there.
The same thing is applicable to "Climb" and some others

They are not one word and different meaning. In yoruba words have Ami! The Ami changes them and as such they are not one word but 11 different words

Firstly, Yoruba language has rules and structures just like English language too. Yoruba language has dictionary.
Wait a minute, are you a Yoruba man? well the question is unnecessary.

Back to your question. The only acceptable way of writing "he stabs" in youruba is "O gun" and not "Ogun". The same process is applicable to " She climbs". However, what differentiate them is the symbol/mark/sign which I have little knowledge about.
