Inchoative_filling

Definition:

This frame deals with containers and covering areas, the Goal, that come to be filled with some thing, things or substance, the Theme. The area or container (Goal) usually appears as the external with all these verbs, and is designated Goal because it is the goal of motion of the Theme. Corresponding to its nuclear argument status, the Goal is also affected in some crucial way, unlike goals in other frames.

La cisterna SE LLENÓ de agua.

El valle SE CUBRIÓ de nieve durante el invierno.

La cripta de aquella iglesia abandonada SE INUNDÓ de agua.
