Be careful when typing: incuneare! (in+cune-+are) < cuneus "nail,"
which, in Romanian, is one "cui," [kuj] two "cuie" ['ku-je].

Even if it'd be an exaggeration to see R. încuiá < L. incuneare,
the *Romanian* construction will do: în- + cui + -a, -are, -at
(and subdialectal one further participle variant -et).

If A. guj = Lat. cuneus = R. cui. (And remember: 'ncuia
cannot stand alone, it has to be preceded by another
word.)

And what are you gonna do if ngujon reflects the very
same Latin pattern in- + cune(us) + -are?
