Academic teaching rationale
### agabuligüdawa *“to be in full ferment us.”* The form **agabuligüdawa** is built upon the root *agabuligüda*, “to be in full ferment” (Lila Garífuna Diccionario (Suazo)). To it is joined the first-person-plural object suffix *-wa*, which makes 'us' the ones acted upon. Taken whole, the word means precisely “to be in full ferment us” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **nagabuligüda** (“I be in full ferment”); **bagabuligüda** (“you be in full ferment”): 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 Quesada 2017 §3.3. 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.*
