Kugi appears to be derived from an older form of the word kuwu ‘hand’ and some unknown particle. Gada-kugi incorporates the noun gada ‘water’ as an instrument or manner adverb. Another kugi compound is kugi-kenni:
| C. kugi-kenni=A=O | A shake O |
| D. kugi-kenni=S | S shake |
Reduplicated kugi-kugi is one of the verbs used to describe sexual activity.
