As is typical of most Midgaard commands, Cough searches for <thing> in a specific order, starting with the room you're in, then your worn or wielded equipment, then your inventory. So, if there's a box in the room, and a box in your inventory, the command "cough box" will refer to the one in the room, not your inventory. You'd need to use "cough 2.box" for the latter.

Cough can be modified with an arbitrary word of your choice. Usually you'll use an intensifying adverb as shown in the examples above. Note that Cough does not use this modifier as a search specifier when looking for <thing>. Instead Cough displays this modifier via the Game channel. Thus you can "cough uncontrollably", "cough discreetly", and so on. You can also "cough 18373649" or "cough toothpaste-like", so, please don't. It's up to you to get the syntax right.
