### alisahaguatibu *“you are constantly straightening (hair).”* The form **alisahaguatibu** is built upon the root *alisaha*, “to straighten (hair)” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the element *-guatibu* (OUFUDA guatibu), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “you are constantly straightening (hair)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **nalisaha** (“I straighten (hair)”); **balisaha** (“you straighten (hair)”): 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.*
