At first I considered {Sev} as a place inside which there was an enemy, such
as an ambush. However, KGT p 48 points out clearly that it means to "contain"
as a degree of action within the series of actions {DoHmoH}, {Hub}, {yot},
{weH}, {HIv}, {Sev}, {HeD}. This proves that {Sev} is a transitive verb with
the enemy as the object, not with the place as the subject.
