Meanings and usage

verb: to stride, to take a big step, to go forward
邁

Classical character with multiple unrelated senses (stride/long journey, old age, surname, mile, and a 'carry on the back' sense tagged Eastern/Northern Min rather than clearly Teochew); picked the core 'stride forward' verb sense.
