A quick vocabulary note: {teb} "fill" is already transitive; that is, it takes
an object. You don't need to add {-moH} to it:
HIvje' tIn yIteb!
Fill a large glass! PK
The intransitive verb (or "quality") is {buy'} "be full, filled up". E.g.:
buy' ngop.
The plates are full.
(Note: according to KGT {buy' ngop!} is also a slang expression meaning, "Good
news! It is good to hear that!")
Other useful verbs include {ngaS} "contain", {lIch} "pour (into/onto anything)"
and {qang} "pour (from one container into another)".
