: In many contexts, {muvpu'wI'} or {muvta'wI'} "one who has joined" works.

: getting the idea across.
{muv} join (physically)" is used once:
batlh maHeghbej 'ej yo' qIjDaq vavpu'ma' DImuv. pa' reH maSuvtaHqu'
Then we die with honor and join our fathers in the Black Fleet (Anthem)
and {muvmoH} is the verb "recruit" (i.e. recruit someone else), but the noun
"recruit" (i.e. someone who has been recruited) is {ghuv}. Go figure.
