   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. [Also
      spelled moveable.]

                                                  --Evelyn.

   2. (Rom. Law) Property not attached to the soil.
      [1913 Webster]

   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.
         [1913 Webster]
