Academic teaching rationale
### arihadihaduguti *“he frequently begs (for food) (aimlessly, with no aim or destination).”* The form **arihadihaduguti** is built upon the root *arihadiha*, “to beg (for food)” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it are joined the frequentative-aimless suffix *-dugu*, which casts the action as habitual yet purposeless — repeated over and over, with no aim or destination; then the third-person masculine ('he') agreement suffix *-ti*, which fixes the subject as third-person masculine ('he'). Taken whole, the word means precisely “he frequently begs (for food) (aimlessly, with no aim or destination)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **narihadiha** (“I beg (for food)”); **barihadiha** (“you beg (for food)”): 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 *“Agáyeinhatu éigini lún ában aríhadihati yara mágidi.”* — ‘She bought a beggar some food at the market.’. [FEED:verified_sentences] *The construction rests on Haurholm-Larsen 2016 §3.3.4 (-ti/-tu); MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA 2026-06-24 (eibuga aspect family:
