	Comments:	There is a link to permit editing this entry in the Tanaka Corpus, but I did not find any edit function there - perhaps this requires access privileges I don't have. In any case, the usage sample 快便快食快眠は健康のしるし is weird. It should read 快食快眠快便は健康のしるし or 快眠快食快便は健康のしるし (I only know the former version but would find the latter equally passable). Not a big deal, but does anybody reading this know how to fix it? m(_v_)m

	Comments:	This is in reference to the previous (and not accepted) submission of the term 二拠点滞在: apparently people combine 二拠点 with any of 生活, 居住, or 滞在 - as you can see from the references. Therefore it seems more appropriate to treat this as an A+B situation that now only requires 二拠点 to be defined for Text Glossing to work properly...

	Comments:	Promoting from WI1 and/or LW2. 生活の本拠 (often shortened to 本拠) is the expression the tax office uses, for example, when determining if a house one just sold will be judged to have been one's primary residence (lower tax) or an investment property (higher tax) Note: the expression "place of life" sounds odd/off - "living premises" or "place of living" would seem more natural
