Academic teaching rationale
### agarabahauwaguawama *“let us all constantly turn around.”* The form **agarabahauwaguawama** is built upon the root *agarabahauwa*, “to be turning around” (Lila Garífuna Diccionario (Suazo)). To it is joined the element *-guawama* (OUFUDA guawama), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “let us all constantly turn around” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nagarabahauwa** (“I turn around”); **bagarabahauwa** (“you turn around”): 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 (OUFUDA master suffix family — his exclusive contribution). 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.*
