In his sentence, his mouth was acting as the target container. Assuming 
we're allowed to read the {-Daq} as "to" instead of "at," then his 
sentence is correct. {lIch} could be used as well.

Where does the definition "approximately 'pour out'" come from? KGT has 
"pour (into/onto anything)" and I'm not sure where else the word has 
been used.
