   note: very is sometimes used to make the word with which it
         is connected emphatic, and may then be paraphrased by
         same, self-same, itself, and the like. "the very hand,
         the very words." --shak. "the very rats instinctively
         have quit it." --shak. "yea, there where very
         desolation dwells." --milton. very is used occasionally
         in the comparative degree, and more frequently in the
         superlative. "was not my lord the verier wag of the
         two?" --shak. "the veriest hermit in the nation."
         --pope. "he had spoken the very truth, and transformed
         it into the veriest falsehood." --hawthorne.
