One [admittedly rather cumbersome] possibility is to distinguish between, for example, {qoD ghajbogh 'Impey'e'} ("pyramid with an interior") and {qoD Hutlhbogh 'Impey'e'} ("pyramid lacking an interior").
You could perhaps get away with referring to a "solid X" simply as an "X qoD", since its boundary (its veH? its reDmey?) is infinitely thin, anyway.
Perhaps.
