Academic teaching rationale

Why — Spatial locative: inside/within a place (mágidirugu 'in the market', dabúyabarugu 'in the temple', éderugu). On a VERB, Director rules -dugu = frequentative-aimless ('frequently, with no aim'); on a PRONOUN, emphatic ('precisely, the very one', = rugu). (Magarada map + §6; Unit IV (135 dict heads); Drom spatial grams -rugu 'at/in') [PRINCIPLES-ONLY — paraphrased]

Why — Suffixal space system: locative (-rugu family per Drom), ablative, allative, andative -yna; prepositions with -gwa; diachrony: suffixes from prepositions, prepositions from nouns. (Haurholm-Larsen, S. (2016). A Grammar of Garifuna. PhD diss., Univ. of Bern (collection upload 2026-07-17, full permission/attribution) §11.2–11.5) [PRINCIPLES-ONLY — paraphrased]
