Academic teaching rationale
### agúarahaguatiwa *“we are constantly screaming.”* The form **agúarahaguatiwa** is built upon the root *agúaraha*, “to scream” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the element *-guatiwa* (OUFUDA guatiwa), whose force is given by the elder paradigm.

To see its precise force, compare **nagúaraha** (“I scream”); **bagúaraha** (“you scream”): 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.
