Actually, I don't think the enemies have to be long term.

Nope. I don't think so. The aforementioned Yak would have to 1) know you
exist; 2) know you are a non-yak; and 3) be actively having a hostile
disposition towards you. (the racist would substitute 'know you are
[insert race]' for qualifier number 2.)
The spell is not detect my potential enemies. Nor is it detect enemies of
people like me. It's detect MY enemies.
