LE qualities of measurable physical states

Rocl.
Of these seven qualities of measurable physical states (classifier "cul") in LE, three are given with the inverse suffix "-ang" and the other four with the quality suffix "-on".  Why aren't they all the same, or does each root have both possibilities?

jaculunzangi - price, cost, rate.
culunzangi - weight, heft, what something weighs.
toyculunzangaw - duration of, length [temporal], term, time/timing.

feculoni - heat, warmth.
ziculoni - volume, capacity, spaciousness. See also "ziculunza".
ticuloni - speed, velocity, rapidity, celerity.
faculoni - distance, remoteness, separation.

Also, is 'temperature' also a suitable gloss for "feculoni"?
