Academic teaching rationale
### áhuyahayandugu *“raining áhuyuni áhuyúni all over the place / around / unsteadily.”* The form **áhuyahayandugu** is built upon the root *áhuya*, “to rain áhuyuni áhuyúni” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the dispersive suffix *-hayandugu*, which scatters the action across space and steadiness — 'all over the place, around, unsteadily'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “raining áhuyuni áhuyúni all over the place / around / unsteadily” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **náhuya** (“I rain áhuyuni áhuyúni”); **báhuya** (“you rain áhuyuni áhuyúni”): 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 *“Nídi ba harúga, áhein gubeirügü áhuya húya.”* — ‘I'll go tomorrow, unless it rains. Wagumuchubei dasi le áhein gubeirügü nouwe- we shall finish this task unless I die.’.
