Remember to look in TKD's addendum. That's where "be important" appears.
You'll eventually want to copy the entire lexicon into one place to make
the job easier. As a side effect, you will end up writing each word at
least once, which will help you to remember the existence of certain words.

In many contexts, {muvpu'wI'} or {muvta'wI'} "one who has joined" works.
But in many other contexts, the verb {muv} is at least as appropriate for
getting the idea across.
