While DLL:56 does not translate the word, Meriggi 1962c:260 (followed in Laroche 1965a:46, HW:475, HHw:83) suggests a meaning ‘Mühlentrog’ or ‘Gerät zum Mähen oder Dreschen’, since the lexeme apparently denotes a tool mentioned together with ^NA4ara₅ ‘millstone’. However, as Starke 1990a:117 points out, the position of the gulluštānn(i)- between the millstone and the cutting tool (ku-ra-⸢at⸣-ni) does not accord well with this proposal. More recently, Melchert (DCL:s.v.) tentatively interprets the word as a derivative of the PIE root *k^u̯elh₁- ‘to turn’ and translates it as ‘rolling pin’, a tool with which a lump of dough is flattened (KUB 35.54 ii 10’ and 11’). Mouton & Yakubovich (pers. comm.) accept the etymological connection, but keep to a more general ‘rolling tool’. Given the uncertainties of the argument, an agnostic stance is taken here.

Starke 1990a:117f. analyses ^GIŠgulluštānn(i)- plausibly as a derivative from gulluš- with the suffixes -ta- and -ann(i)-. This is accepted in CLL:197 and Rieken 1990a:224 229.Yakubovich 2017d erroneously posits a stem kulluštar-/-t(ta)n- in spite of the spellings with -nn-.
