I just took a gander, and it looks like all three words are in there.
However, when you use the word analysis tool (which I had been using
as an easy way to look up words) it only gives the first. So, they're
there, just not how I was looking :p

Keep in mind that many words have never been used in a sentence or explained by Okrand and so we're still unsure about how some of these work in practice. (E.g. Can a particular verb take an object? If so, is the object a person or thing? etc.)
Well, cheers. This is the frustrating bit as a linguist: I always
want examples! And there are so few that I have easy access to!
