Verb
munu (third-person singular present indicative man or mun)

- many will smart for it
- denoting what is probable or pretty certain
- (past tense) would, must

Usage notes
Munu is a non-switching conjunction. When it joins two clauses or sentences, it conveys that the subject of the first clause carries over into the second. In cases where each clause has a different subject, ka is used instead.
