The TKD is limiting enough without limiting how to define each word.
In "The Random House American Dictionary" the first definition of
"proud" (first of all, its an adj.) is "having pride." The Webster's
New Dictionary was along the same lines. TKD says <Hem = be
proud(v)>. So if I wanted to say "I am proud of you" I would use
<qaHem> <I be proud you>. What could be simpler?

No, not really. Let's try this again.
'a DaSaH 'e' tlho' vIghajmeH
I meant this to be, "But, I appreciate you caring." or "But, you care
that(previous topic) appreciation I have for."
