Academic teaching rationale
### anurarügütu *“she flees run away, escape only / just; the female one who flees run away, escape.”* The form **anurarügütu** is built upon the root *anura*, “to flee, run away, escape” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it are joined the restrictive suffix *-rügü*, which bounds the action to itself alone — 'only, just'; then the third-person feminine ('she') agreement suffix *-tu*, which fixes the subject as third-person feminine ('she'). Taken whole, the word means precisely “she flees run away, escape only / just; the female one who flees run away, escape” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nanura** (“I flee, run away, escape”); **banura** (“you flee, run away, escape”): 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 *“anura e figiabu tura bamuga lun nei nuagu, nirahü”* — ‘The poor thing has run away, you should tell him about me, my child.’.
