Add to it:
{Dargh HIvje'} teacup (n.) KGT
"Tea may be made either in a teapot ({runpI'}) or directly in the teacup
({Dargh HIvje'}, or, if not a cup specifically designed for drinking tea,
just {HIvje'})." (KGT 96)
"Some drinks are served in special containers, such as the {runpI'}
(teapot) used in the making of {Dargh} (tea), and are then poured into the
appropriate {HIvje'}." (KGT 99)
"Similarly, the common word for 'teacup' is {Dargh HIvje'} (literally,
'tea drinking vessel'). Among the upper classes, the word {tu'lum} is used
with some frequency, though, strictly speaking, this archaic word used to
mean only a cup made of metal." (KGT 42)
