[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: vey'

[Steven Boozer]

Klingon word: vey'
Part of speech: verb
Definition: be comfortable, be plentiful
Source: qep'a' 24 [2017]
_______________________________________________

(qep'a' 2017, New Words):  These words are for the sense of free from hardship or more than adequate (or inadequate or barely adequate or meager), like a comfortable income.  […]  {vey'} is similar to {yap} "be enough, sufficient", but {vey'} implies more than enough, more than just sufficient.

(nIqolay Q, 9/01/2017):  If you want to convey the idea of 'more than some amount' in a positive way, or at least a value-neutral way, you could try the new word {vey'}. It was glossed as "be comfortable" at the qep'a', in the sense of "a comfortable income", but the core idea is be more than enough, be more than is just sufficient. (The notes say it's similar to {yap}, which suggests it refers to the thing that one has a comfortable amount of, rather than, e.g., the person who has the comfortable life.)
