{{tp|moku}} can also refer to food itself, especially in the [[Part-of-speech roles|role]] of a [[noun]].

{{Example

|moku ni li tawa tenpo kulupu.

|This food is for the gathering.

|moku ni li tawa tenpo kulupu

}}

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.
