Morphology

Mokulu + language

This is a straightforward name + classifier construction: 'Mokulu' (a proper name) combined with 'language' simply denotes the language called Mokulu. The meaning is directly derivable from the constituents and follows a cross-linguistically common pattern for naming languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand it.

Etymology

Mokulu language may come from the name Mokulu, the people or village where it was first spoken, and language simply means the way they speak, so the name means 'the language spoken by the Mokulu people'.
