Why this matters

**ababaügubeirügüti** is the -aü state-noun *ababaü* ‘papaya’ carrying the family suffix *-gubeirügüti*, and so reads ‘the only one with papaya / papaya and nothing else (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* + *-gubeirügüti* → *ababaügubeirügüti*, never *ababagubeirügüti*). This reading is a candidate generated deterministically from the elder-given rule and is flagged for fluent-elder validation.
