### agayuahagubeiyein *“he has always been hitting (continuously / habitually, up to now).”* The form **agayuahagubeiyein** is built upon the root *agayuaha*, “to hit” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the perfect-continuous suffix *-gubeiyein*, which stretches the action across all past time up to the present, 'has always been …-ing' (the *-yein* marking a masculine subject). Taken whole, the word means precisely “he has always been hitting (continuously / habitually, up to now)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **nagayuaha** (“I hit”); **bagayuaha** (“you hit”): 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 *“Háfuga ladüga lan furunde lan háguchi ani agayuaha lan meha tuagu lani weiriou, ligía hasaminarunbei wügüriña ha mariban lan katei le”*.
