Academic teaching rationale
### ararihaguati *“he is constantly descending (various times) / the male one who constantly descends (various times).”* The form **ararihaguati** is built upon the root *arariha*, “to descend (various times)” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the element *-guati* (OUFUDA guati), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “he is constantly descending (various times) / the male one who constantly descends (various times)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **narariha** (“I descend (various times)”); **barariha** (“you descend (various times)”): 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.*
