It's entirely possible. The example in question doesn't make it clear
one way or another. *woQ luSuqmeH jIjpu' chaH romuluSngan'e' je.* Again,
it's a bad data point, and shouldn't be used to draw any conclusions on
this matter.
(I'll note that the English translation, /work with Romulan factions,/
is not stative or a quality, so this sentence is unlikely to be the
source of the later /be cooperative/ gloss for *jIj.*)
