</blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">As an addendum, eventually you'll get a feel for which words don't really need you to look up the canon in the first place. {veb} and {vorgh}, for instance, are relatively mundane stative verbs with simple English glosses. Even if they did have canon sentences, those canon sentences are probably going to look just like you expect. <br><br>Also, it's important not to worry too much about canon. I don't mean you should ignore grammar and use words however you want and the like. It's important to know the rules. But many words have never been used in a sentence, or have never had their precise meanings elaborated on, or are only known from an ambiguous gloss in TKD, or have been used inconsistently. You will eventually encounter areas of vocabulary and syntax where the old pros and canon knowers don't know anything more than you or I do. If you obsess over making sure everything is 100% perfectly canonical, you're just going to burn yourself out when you try to handle the things we don't know precisely. In the end, sometimes you just have to take a guess on a word. The worst thing that can happen is a couple dozen strangers on the Internet think you goofed up.<br><br><br></div></div>
