voragh> Agreed.  There's no evidence from canon for this intransitive use of 
voragh> {teb}.  

Actually, both uses are transitive, since both verbs have an object - 
the glass.  It's the relationship of the verb with its subject which
differs, not the transitivity.

voragh> Instead, reverse the sentence and use {ngaS} "contain (have 
voragh> inside), fill":

A very good idea.  Especially with availability of {-choH[-moH]}, those
words should be able to handle any of several ways of looking at the
situation.
