Academic teaching rationale
### agabaraharu *“she has cuckolded be unfaithful to (husband) agabarahani (present perfect — Suazo).”* The form **agabaraharu** is built upon the root *agabaraha*, “to cuckold, be unfaithful to (husband) agabarahani” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the present-perfect suffix *-ru* (3SG.F, Suazo), 'she has V-ed'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “she has cuckolded be unfaithful to (husband) agabarahani (present perfect — Suazo)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nagabaraha** (“I cuckold, be unfaithful to (husband) agabarahani”); **bagabaraha** (“you cuckold, be unfaithful to (husband) agabarahani”): 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 *“Kéiburi hamuga anhein busén tubéi maríeitu tasigirun luma tani weiriei íbini agabaraha laaru lan, gayaraati tadügüni”*. [05_sentences.CLEAN_2026-06-20] *The construction rests on Suazo, Conversemos en garífuna (Guaymuras 1991/1994) — principle recorded with attribution. This is a principled composition — a cited root joined
