Academic teaching rationale
### anuadihaguanarugutibu *“you only disturb / you simply disturb (does nothing but disturb).”* The form **anuadihaguanarugutibu** is built upon the root *anuadiha*, “to disturb” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it are joined the element *-guanarugu* (RST 'only / simply / merely'), whose force is given by the elder paradigm; then the element *-tibu* (2SG agentive (no prefix)), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “you only disturb / you simply disturb (does nothing but disturb)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **nanuadiha** (“I disturb”); **banuadiha** (“you disturb”): 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. While a citation of this exact form still awaits collection, its root is heard in living speech, as in *“Anuadihaban aban fulasu tidan luban, furendei ñi lun bai anihein làn saragu lamuña. Aban me bibugu lamidan budèin plàstiko tau isiresi, aban me babadiru murusu mua charichariti tau tügürügü fàluma lau 2.1. murusu lasu aban me bafidiha aban, aban luèigie kadan aban aru, larigi, aban me bafeinduiruni lau ewegeruni gàfe luma funayumati,
