Nor do I.

Any of these names have different (somewhat implied) semantic to me. I'd 
expect enunmerate_words to yield (order, word) pairs, parse_words to 
yield tokens, walk_words to traverse a tree of words, etc

As you see, this is much about what it does than what it is. And FWIW, 
do you prefix function names s with fun_ ?

No.
