The payoff here is the suffix --, which turns an action into the concrete thing that results from it. is to build; is the building. Once you see that, the same trick unlocks dozens of words elsewhere: o from , o from . o is the process rather than the product, and o is the person doing it. i rebuilds, which is what most of the older Esperanto texts about European cities are describing.
