<p>Kruge says <b>yIje'</b> at one of his officers, pointing to his
vicious pet on the bridge. I don't think he meant the officer was
supposed to spoon-feed the thing.</p>
<p><b>qa' wIje'meH maSuv</b> refers idiomatically to feeding the
spirit. We do it by fighting, not by putting anything in the
spirit's mouth. But this is an idiom, so it's dangerous to look
too closely at the literal meaning.<br>
