### abosihawala *“let it boast / (it) shall boast.”* The form **abosihawala** is built upon the root *abosiha*, “to boast/ to brag” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the optative mood *-wala*, which projects the action as something that shall be, or is let to be. Taken whole, the word means precisely “let it boast / (it) shall boast” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nabosiha** (“I boast”); **babosiha** (“you boast”): 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 *“L-afara-di-na l-abosiha D. l-uagu E.”* — ‘D's boasting about E. is going to kill me’ (es: ‘El que D. se jacte de E. me va a matar’). [FEED:Hubert_Devonish_and_Enita_Castillo] *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.*
