Why this matters

**ababaüguaha** is the -aü state-noun *ababaü* ‘papaya’ carrying the family suffix *-guaha*, and so reads ‘papaya from time to time; intermittent papaya’. Under the -aü state-noun family law (MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA, 2026-06-24) the gua/gubei suffix array attaches productively to -aü state-nouns and the -ü of the seam is retained (*ababaü* + *-guaha* → *ababaüguaha*, never *ababaguaha*). This reading is a candidate generated deterministically from the elder-given rule and is flagged for fluent-elder validation.
