How the form is built
No root relation is asserted in this public record.
Academic teaching rationale
The instrumental suffix -gulei nominalizes a verb into the INSTRUMENT or PLACE of the action; it covers both tools (afuridu-gulei 'frying pan') and locations (ata-gulei 'bar', alugura-gulei 'sales stand'). Example: ata(gua) -> ata-gulei = to drink -> bar/cantina
