For the noun, there is no canon equivalent close enough to achieve "an inanimate object, which holds something". The closest Legacy hits are bexaat 'container' and beyl 'cup'.

For the verb, the closest canon equivalent is aal 'may, might'. It is possible to construct elaborate aux-verbal phrases such as piraak suleyk wah 'possess the power to', kos stin wah 'be free to', kos bolaav wah 'be granted to'. The direct Legacy translation is vis. Give the full sentence for context next time.
