«presumably» in the school dictionary: its meaning for a pupil and its 7 examples, every sentence parsed by Mova itself — its syntax tree, a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, and its pragmatics clause by clause. The word in the dictionary, with its sense in the lessons: [presumably in the school dictionary](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/dictionaries/school/w/presumably.md).
