### ábouguadügü *“in the constant act of cooking abouncha, to bounce (for no apparent reason).”* The form **ábouguadügü** is built upon the root *ábougua*, “to cook abouncha, to bounce” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the element *-guadügü* (CONST.HAB 'constantly / for no apparent reason' (var. -guarügü/-guadugu)), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “in the constant act of cooking abouncha, to bounce (for no apparent reason)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nábougua** (“I cook abouncha, to bounce”); **bábougua** (“you cook abouncha, to bounce”): 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. It may be heard in use: *“Abouguadügü.”* — ‘(He is) constantly cooking for no apparent reason.’. [MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA 2026-06-24 (attested)] *The construction rests on MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA 2026-06-24 (constant-habitual -guadügü/-guarügü/-guadugu 'constantly / for no apparent reason'). 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
