1.1.4Meaning
While DLL:56 only mentions the attestation, Starke 1990a:117f. (followed in CLL:107, HHw:83, Malzahn 2014a:166) analyses gulluša as a neuter nom./acc. pl. of an s-stem, which he identifies as the derivational base of GIŠgulluštānn(i)-. Although it could be concluded that the word signifies something in connection with ‘to roll, to turn’, the semantic details remain obscure.
