A container is implicitly defined by its function (to contain its 
contents).  tubnu and certain other words are shapes or forms - the 
function may follow from the form, but the essential concept is the form 
  and not the function.

You'll find that the wording of a lot of gismu make reference to the 
form/function dichotomy - something we thought was of fundamental 
semantic importance back when we defined the place structures.
