I don't think «mol» is really the right word either, unless they're actually buried in the ground (or in a wall or the like).
In paq'batlh, the phrase
«chalqachlIj rachlu'ta'bogh tutDaq mol'egh betleH»
is used to mean something like "the bat'leth buried itself in the fortified tower's column".
While this may be modtic usage, it suggests to me that the verb «mol» involves an actual, physical burial, and since it is likely cognate with the noun «mol», I would expect the same of it.
