Hey was just joking around when I mentioned the “ missing list”.
Guyanese are very hospitable people. Regarding the Guyanese dialect “ abe “ it seems to be a common word on some of the Caribbean island.
I took it as such, man. No worries, but indeed, Guyana is a HUGE place with lots of places to "lose" somebody. LOL

You know of another place in the Caribbean that uses that word. I was surprised when I first heard it in Guyana because I grew up hearing my Nevisian family saying it.

Check this out:

"All of us" (America)
"Wunna" (Barbados)
"Ulyuh" (Trinidad)
"Ahyoh" (Virgin Islands)
"Unnu" (Jamaica)
"Ahbe" (Nevis/Guyana)
"Yinna" (Bahamas)
"Ahwe" (St. Kitts)
