English "to"

Section Etymology included the following sentence:

Literally, hoʻo is a particle used to make an actualizing verb from the following noun, as would "to" before a noun in English.

This is patently incorrect, e.g. (the prefixed asterisk is linguistic notation for an incorrect form):

*to car
*to temperature
*to cat
*to lamp
*to banana

are not verbs. Some such derived verbs do exist, but the process is by no means automatic like suffixing "-ing" to form the present participle of a verb. I have deleted the bolded text.
