### abouchaguanarugutu *“she only sprouts to germinate / she simply sprouts to germinate (does nothing but sprout, to germinate).”* The form **abouchaguanarugutu** is built upon the root *aboucha*, “to sprout, to germinate” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it are joined the element *-guanarugu* (RST 'only / simply / merely'), whose force is given by the elder paradigm; then the element *-tu* (3SG.F agentive (no prefix)), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “she only sprouts to germinate / she simply sprouts to germinate (does nothing but sprout, to germinate)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **naboucha** (“I sprout, to germinate”); **baboucha** (“you sprout, to germinate”): 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 *“ladüga sian hamuti lagu watu aboucha”* — ‘because they are unable to split the firewood.’.
