It seems to me that several threads are circling around the "enough" with its nice balance of pecision and vagueness -- we know what it has to do, but we often don't know just when we get there. So, horses are not the logically mandated last thing of Tashunk ... that people are likely to fear but they are remote enough, we're sure, to justify calling attention to their remoteness and thus to the extent of his phobophoria. My dinner cooking is not all that late but it is enough after the demand for food to bear comment. And so on. I have'nt a clue what all this means in terms of Lojban (nor English) usage, but the threads seem to be converging.
