### aranahala *“let (one) cheat, in games / cheat, in games! (imperative).”* The form **aranahala** is built upon the root *aranaha*, “to cheat, in games” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the imperative/hortative mood *-la*, which issues the action as a wish or command — 'let it be …'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “let (one) cheat, in games / cheat, in games! (imperative)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **naranaha** (“I cheat, in games”); **baranaha** (“you cheat, in games”): 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 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.*
