None of the man pages for zypper and rpm define "requires" or "recommends" either, but you somehow are comfortable with it?
"Requires" and "recommends" are self-defining, but "supplements" is rather ambiguous.
"Requires" and "Recommends" are opaque tokens that define behavior of a software that is using them. Deducing behavior of the software from their meaning in English language is fallacy.
