   1. Capable of being moved, lifted, carried, drawn, turned, or
      conveyed, or in any way made to change place or posture;
      susceptible of motion; not fixed or stationary; as, a
      movable steam engine.

   2. Changing from one time to another; as, movable feasts, i.
      e., church festivals, the date of which varies from year
      to year.

   {Movable letter} (Heb. Gram.), a letter that is pronounced,

Movable \Mov"a*ble\, n.; pl. {Movables}.
   1. An article of wares or goods; a commodity; a piece of
      property not fixed, or not a part of real estate;
      generally, in the plural, goods; wares; furniture.

            Furnished with the most rich and princely movables.
                                                  --Evelyn.

   2. (Rom. Law) Property not attached to the soil.

   Note: The word is not convertible with personal property,
         since rents and similar incidents of the soil which are
         personal property by our law are immovables by the
         Roman law. --Wharton.
