Academic teaching rationale
### abuinchagubeiyanu *“they have always been being full of (continuously / habitually, up to now).”* The form **abuinchagubeiyanu** is built upon the root *abuincha*, “to be full of” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the perfect-continuous suffix *-gubeiyanu* (3PL), which carries 'they have always been …-ing'; on a negative stem it reads 'they have never been' (cf. meigigubeiyanu 'they have never eaten'). Taken whole, the word means precisely “they have always been being full of (continuously / habitually, up to now)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **nabuincha** (“I be full of”); **babuincha** (“you be full of”): 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 *“ABAHÜDAGUNI 7 Aban wügüri ganigiti DAN le latatirunbei Ubóu abuincha hau gürigia, hibe-agei adügatiñu katei wuribati kei meha Kaín”*. [05_sentences.CLEAN_2026-06-20] *The construction rests on MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA 2026-06-24 (eibuga aspect family: -dugu frequentative / -gubeiyein perfect-continuous). This is a principled composition
