Another "The Art of War"-related sentence question.  In the following
snippit:
wa'SaD qelI'qam [A] chuq lenglaHmeH negh, Soj poQlu
And provisions to carry them a thousand miles.

It looks like {wa'SaD qelI'qam chuq} is the direct object of {leng}?  Can
the distance traveled be stated this way?  I recall that specifying the
distance traveled was a tricky problem, but if {leng} can take distance as a
D.O., it isn't tricky any more. (jIyIt. wa' qelI'qam chuq vIleng).
