IMHO, {lel} describes a subset or a special case of {teq}. I'd see the
object of {lel} as being physically inside something else (so, inside a box,
a packet, a room) whereas {teq} could describe something on something else,
but not necessarily inside (so, on a wall, the floor, etc).

{ngaSwI'vo' Soj yIteq} "take the food off/out of/away from the container!"
