Academic teaching rationale
### áragadiu *“you all have urinated (present perfect — Suazo).”* The form **áragadiu** is built upon the root *áraga*, “to urinate” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the present-perfect suffix *-diu* (2PL, Suazo), 'you all have V-ed'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “you all have urinated (present perfect — Suazo)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **náraga** (“I urinate”); **báraga** (“you urinate”): 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 Suazo, Conversemos en garífuna (Guaymuras 1991/1994) — principle recorded with attribution. 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.*
