In English the subject of "to fill" can be either the agent accomplishing
the filling ("The attendant filled the tank") or the substance which
constitutes the filling ("The gas filled the tank nearly to the top.").
I was asking if there was evidence as to which of these applied to {teb}.
It sounds like PK (which I am going to go pop into my cassette player now)
indicates that the subject is the agent rather than the substance.
