Try {much} instead -- I'd probably have understood that immediately,

I am not the person who started using {Da} for acting, mime, playing roles. I
don't know who started using {Da} this way, but I recall seeing it several
times.
As to interpretations of TKD glosses, we are doing our best "individual"
interpretations until MO uses the words in sentences. I often feel some the
so-called experts of KLI have some truly weird interpretations.
