Usage notes:
"I asked [Marc Okrand] if there were a word for 'satisfied, I'm full', i.e. you had eaten enough. MO said no, but accepted {ghungHa'} for 'not hungry any more'. You cannot use it though to say that you are not hungry, that should be {ghungbe'} 'not hungry'. But if you are hungry first, then you eat enough, then you can say {DaH jIghungHa'} "Now I am un-hungry" (= "not hungry any more"). It also works with {'oj} the same way." [Lieven, qepHom'a', 11/15/2011]
