Ouch! No it doesn't! It is not in the state of being sufficient for the
purpose of feeding the warrior. Feeding a warrior is not a purpose which
being sufficient is trying to achieve. If it were, you could say {SuvwI'
je'meH yapbe'} just as correctly as you can say {batlh bIHeghbe'}.
SuvwI' je'lu'. yap.
A warrior is fed. It is sufficient. (Whatever the "it" was in context; I
don't know.)
