### aríaguagubeirugula *“(one) may as well be in a state of watching (just).”* The form **aríaguagubeirugula** is built upon the root *aríagua*, “to be in a state of watching” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the restrictive concessive mood *-gubeirugula*, which narrows 'may as well' to 'may just as well'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “(one) may as well be in a state of watching (just)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **naríagua** (“I be in a state of watching”); **baríagua** (“you be in a state of watching”): 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 *“Midin badí huma,” aríagua hamana, aríagua hamana lun hanurahan,”* — ‘You will not go with your buddies," they would watch me, they watched so they could sneak out,’.

This is a principled composition — a cited root joined to a cited paradigm — and so it is offered for fluent-elder v
