Academic teaching rationale
### abinádudana *“they have got old (thing) (present perfect — Suazo).”* The form **abinádudana** is built upon the root *abináduda*, “to get old (thing)” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the perfect-continuous suffix *-gubeiyein*, which stretches the action across all past time up to the present, 'has always been …-ing' (the *-yein* marking a masculine subject). Taken whole, the word means precisely “they have got old (thing) (present perfect — Suazo)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nabináduda** (“I get old (thing)”); **babináduda** (“you get old (thing)”): 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. *The construction rests on Suazo, Conversemos en garífuna (Guaymuras 1991/1994) — principle recorded with attribution. 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.*
