Academic teaching rationale
### adarihahayandugu *“courting all over the place / around / unsteadily.”* The form **adarihahayandugu** is built upon the root *adariha*, “to court/ to woo” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the dispersive suffix *-hayandugu*, which scatters the action across space and steadiness — 'all over the place, around, unsteadily'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “courting all over the place / around / unsteadily” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **nadariha** (“I court”); **badariha** (“you court”): 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 *“abeluha numoun lun wayanuha luagu binadu adarihani”* — ‘to visit, so that we can talk about traditional courting.’. [elar_sg0340_eaf_gold_annotations_43] *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.*
