Note
A form that grows only from the verb, the one meaning "to give warning to." The adjective alert (attentive, on guard) and the noun (an alarm, a state of readiness) share the spelling but have no -ing form, so an alert guard is watchful while an alerting guard is warning someone. As a gerund it works as a noun: early alerting matters.
