Usage Note
Igulong is the object-focus conveyance form of gulong, using the i- prefix to foreground the thing being rolled rather than the roller. Its intransitive actor-focus partner is gumulong, and it is common in physical labor contexts — rolling barrels, logs, or tires — and in children's play.
