My idea was that {'aplo'} might mean exactly what we translate as 
"container".
This is all just speculative, but it is only our personal feeling that 
"contain+er" is translated literally as {ngaS + wI'}.

What they have in common?

- A cassette is a container of the {wab qoSta'}.
- A battery is a container of {'ul}.
- The MKE-box is the container of the game.

That's what they all have in common. But that's only my point of view.

(Maybe there's a pun with "holder", pronounced "olda", put upside down ;-)
