### átunuraguatiya *“they are constantly coughing.”* The form **átunuraguatiya** is built upon the root *átunura*, “to cough” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the element *-guatiya* (OUFUDA guatiya), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “they are constantly coughing” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **nátunura** (“I cough”); **bátunura** (“you cough”): 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.*
