The first word returned by WordList["Verb"] is "aah", even though I think it actually an interjection, I still wonder whether there lies any rationale in it; or is it just a bug?

4$\begingroup$ It is a rarely used form of "be" (2nd pers. singular): "You ahh so wrong!". The verb appears in some famous songs as well like "We ahh the champions" and "Youth of a nation". ( I hope I'm still allowed to make jokes as a moderator). $\endgroup$– halirutan ♦Oct 24, 2018 at 9:25

Jokes aside, it indeed seems to be a verb in the English language. Look at this wiki entry:
Verb: aah (third-person singular simple present aahs, present participle aahing, simple past and past participle aahed)
An example would be
Everyone who came by oohed and aahed over her new appearance.

1$\begingroup$ For what it's worth, it's in the OED as well: "To say ‘ah’ as an expression of surprise, wonder, realization, etc. Frequently in collocation with ooh or oh." $\endgroup$ Oct 24, 2018 at 14:07
