Why this matters

**ababaüguali** is the -aü state-noun *ababaü* ‘papaya’ carrying the family suffix *-guali*, and so reads ‘only papaya left; nothing but papaya remaining’. 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* + *-guali* → *ababaüguali*, never *ababaguali*). This reading is a candidate generated deterministically from the elder-given rule and is flagged for fluent-elder validation.
