Academic teaching rationale

### afaldaraguadügü *“in the constant act of lacking (for no apparent reason).”* The form **afaldaraguadügü** is built upon the root *afaldara*, “to lack” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the element *-guadügü* (CONST.HAB 'constantly / for no apparent reason' (var. -guarügü/-guadugu)), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “in the constant act of lacking (for no apparent reason)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nafaldara** (“I lack”); **bafaldara** (“you lack”): 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. *The construction rests on MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA 2026-06-24 (constant-habitual -guadügü/-guarügü/-guadugu 'constantly / for no apparent reason'). 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.*
