Why this matters

**ababaüguanaruguti** is the -aü state-noun *ababaü* ‘papaya’ carrying the family suffix *-guanaruguti*, and so reads ‘the one who has only papaya / nothing but papaya (agentive)’. 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* + *-guanaruguti* → *ababaüguanaruguti*, never *ababaguanaruguti*). This reading is a candidate generated deterministically from the elder-given rule and is flagged for fluent-elder validation.
