{bej} is defined as "watch, observe".

Is it? I don't see anywhere that observe has been used to gloss bej.


The proverb from TKW
   {bISutlhnISchugh jaghlI' mInDu' tIbej.}
   If you must negotiate, watch your enemy's eyes.
is a hint to "observe" your opponent's eyes, but surely not stare at
them intently.
The word observe is never used in TKW to refer to vision.
