  • I don't think there are any specific (exactly correspond) words to fill the gap, but what are usually used are 'satisfied', 'eased', 'alleviated', 'lessen', 'reduce'. Look up synonyms of those.

"Sated" might be the word you're looking for. As Mitch said, I don't know that it's exactly analogous to quench, but it's pretty similar. (Ex. "The burger sated my hunger.") Idiomatically, you could say "That burger really hit the spot."
