### áürüdatu *“she abates of rain or wind; the female one who abates of rain or wind.”* The form **áürüdatu** is built upon the root *áürüda*, “to abate, of rain or wind” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the element *-tu* (3SG.F/AGT), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “she abates of rain or wind; the female one who abates of rain or wind” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **náürüda** (“I abate, of rain or wind”); **báürüda** (“you abate, of rain or wind”): 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 Haurholm-Larsen 2016 §3.3.4 (-ti/-tu). 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.*
