When {je} follows a verb it means "also" [TKD p.55]:

      The noun conjunction {je} has an additional function: when it
    follows a verb, it means <also, too.>

        {qaleghpu' je} <I also saw you, I saw you too>

So there are two sentences

    {Suv Lisa, Dan je.} "Lisa fights, (and she) also occupies."
