This can also be used for the hollow in a tree. {qung}, the word for "hole in a musical instrument", can't be used for a hole in the ground, but it could be used for a bullet hole or a hole in a shirt (including buttonholes, moth holes, accidental rips, etc.) or a hole in the roof. You can fill ({teb}) a {QemjIq}, but not a {qung}.

Maybe you should adapt these notes. You cannot say "{qung} seems to be
restricted to the very specialized holes"
after reading Okrand's explanation:
"{qung} [...] could be used for a bullet hole or a hole in a shirt
(including buttonholes, moth holes, accidental rips, etc.) or a hole in
the roof."
