Academic teaching rationale
### abarichagua *“to constantly plaster / to be in the act of plastering.”* The form **abarichagua** is built upon the root *abaricha*, “to plaster” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the continuous/middle suffix *-gua*, which holds the subject in the ongoing act — 'to be constantly …-ing'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “to constantly plaster / to be in the act of plastering” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nabaricha** (“I plaster”); **babaricha** (“you plaster”): 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 *“Abaricha hamutu wügüriya gubégubeti lúma siméndi tuágu múna.”* — ‘The men plastered the house with mud and cement.’. [FEED:verified_sentences] *The construction rests on Haurholm-Larsen 2016 §3.3.4 (-ti/-tu). 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.*
