### achülühanei *“I keep coming.”* The form **achülühanei** is built upon the root *achülüha*, “to keep coming” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the modal person suffix *-nei*, placing first-person singular ('I') within the modal (irrealis) series. Taken whole, the word means precisely “I keep coming” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nachülüha** (“I keep coming”); **bachülüha** (“you keep coming”): 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 *“Achahinra lumuti áunli lari luágu wügüri le achülühabei.”* — ‘The dog bared his teeth at the man who arrived.’. [FEED:verified_sentences] *The construction rests on MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA 2026-06-24 (modal/optative paradigm, root ex. aguyaguda). 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.*
