### abuleseiralei *“he in-s.”* The form **abuleseiralei** is built upon the root *abuleseira*, “to in-” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the modal person suffix *-lei*, placing third-person masculine ('he') within the modal (irrealis) series. Taken whole, the word means precisely “he in-s” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **nabuleseira** (“I in-”); **babuleseira** (“you in-”): each shares the same stem yet bends it to a different shade of meaning, which is exactly how Garífuna wins great precision from a single root. While a citation of this exact form still awaits collection, its root is heard in living speech, as in *“Ani mínsiñeti giñe woun lun ladügǘn wuribani lun ni aban gürigia, gama lumoun, anhein abuleseira aban gürigia aban irahü gáribei woun ani ábame giñe wagañidun”*. [05_sentences.CLEAN_2026-06-20] *The construction rests on MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA 2026-06-24 (modal/optative paradigm, root ex. aguyaguda). This is a principled composition — a cited root joined to a cited paradigm — and so it is offered for fluent-elder validation rather than asserted as attested.*
