Based on the S21 example, I do not think that says what you want it
to. I interpret {vIngIl} "I dare it" to mean that *I* have the
courage, conviction, or foolhardiness to do something. I can't see
it working for enticing or challenging someone else to act.
{SuHIvchuq 'e' vIngIl} seems like trying to say "Let's you and him
fight."
I suggest {X 'e' yIngIl} instead.
