### agaganiraguau *“[OUFUDA-family form — precise meaning pending fluent-elder validation].”* The form **agaganiraguau** is built upon the root *agaganira*, “to contend” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the element *-guau* (OUFUDA guau (pending elder)), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “[OUFUDA-family form — precise meaning pending fluent-elder validation]” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **nagaganira** (“I contend”); **bagaganira** (“you contend”): 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 *“Agaganira lumuti mafiá wagúndaü, mégeitiwa hérewama.”* — ‘The devil antagonized our happiness, we must be strong.’. [FEED:verified_sentences] *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.*
