What does MVULE mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A large African hardwood tree, also known as iroko, whose durable timber is used in construction and furniture.
Mvule grows across tropical East and Central Africa and can reach great height, producing a heavy, termite-resistant wood valued for building, boatbuilding and furniture making. The name comes from Bantu languages of the region and is used alongside the more widely known name iroko in English. Because the timber resembles teak in strength and colour, mvule is sometimes called African teak in the timber trade.
