'i can' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'move over specially to keep wife warmer' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'move' could be 'wave' (waving is a kind of moving) and 'wave' is found within the answer.
'over' could be 'o' (cricket abbreviation) and 'o' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
