I notice that the quote comes from nIqolay Q. What makes this quote so important, that it appears on the comments of the word of the day ?

I mean no disrespect to nIqolay Q, but since I usually add comments from the word of the day to my notes, I wonder what makes this specific note so important.

(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.)
