Academic teaching rationale
### éheraaguagubeiyoun *“she has always been serving (food and drink) (continuously / habitually, up to now).”* The form **éheraaguagubeiyoun** is built upon the root *éheraagua*, “to serve (food and drink)” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the perfect-continuous suffix *-gubeiyoun* (3SG.F), which carries 'she has always been …-ing' (the -youn marking a feminine subject). Taken whole, the word means precisely “she has always been serving (food and drink) (continuously / habitually, up to now)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **néheraagua** (“I serve (food and drink)”); **béheraagua** (“you serve (food and drink)”): 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 MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA 2026-06-24 (eibuga aspect family: -dugu frequentative / -gubeiyein perfect-continuous). 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.*
