{{Example

{{Example
The word {{tp|moku}} implies the presence of a fuel or a similar resource by analogy. For example, learning may be expressed metaphorically as "to consume knowledge".

}}
 
The word {{tp|moku}} implies the presence of a type of {{w|fuel}} or similar resource by analogy. For example, breathing and injections are considering a type of consumption.<ref name="alison2023a" /><ref name="alison2023b" /> Metaphorically, learning may be expressed metaphorically as "to consume knowledge". Often, {{tp|moku}} also implies the depletion of the [[directsaid object]]fuel, similarly to how English frames {{w|corrosion}} and {{w|erosion}} as "eating away at" or "eating through" something.
 
{{Example
| seli li <mark>moku</mark> e kasi.
| Fire "<mark>eats up</mark>" wood.
| seli li <mark>moku </mark> e kasi
}}
 
{{tp|moku}} can also refer to food itself, especially in the [[Part-of-speech roles|role]] of a [[noun]].
 
{{Example
| mi <mark>moku</mark> e tenpo sina.<ref>{{cite YouTube|id=liZCeOD9-gI|title=tomo pi walo loje|trans-title=The Pink House|language=tok|author={{tok|[[jan Kekan San]]}}|channel={{tok|jan Kekan San}}|handle=gregdan3d|date=Apr 1, 2024|access-date=2024-04-02|quote=}}</ref>
|<mark>moku</mark> ni li tawa tenpo kulupu.
|This I <mark>foodwasted</mark> is for theyour gatheringtime.
| mi <mark>moku </mark>ni li tawae tenpo kulupusina
}}
 
As in the "fuel" examples, this sense can be extended to any substance fit for consumption in a given [[context]], even if it would not literally be considered eating.
 
When used as an [[intransitive verb]], {{tp|moku}} may mean both "to consume" and "to be food". One strategy to combat ambiguity in this case is adding a [[direct object]]. However, according to the {{tp|[[monsutatesu]]}}, this may be ambiguous in a different manner, as it could either refer to consuming or feeding something.
