### áhulahahumai *“you all root out áhulahani.”* The form **áhulahahumai** is built upon the root *áhulaha*, “to root out áhulahani” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the modal person suffix *-humai*, placing second-person plural ('you all') within the modal (irrealis) series. Taken whole, the word means precisely “you all root out áhulahani” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **náhulaha** (“I root out áhulahani”); **báhulaha** (“you root out áhulahani”): 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 *“Ayánhein dunúru áhulaha héweraü lídangiyen múwa.”* — ‘Birds are pulling worms out of the ground.’. [FEED:verified_sentences] *The construction rests on MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA 2026-06-24 (modal/optative paradigm, root ex. aguyaguda). 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.*
