Academic teaching rationale
### anuadihaguarugu *“in the habit of disturbing / doing nothing but disturbing.”* The form **anuadihaguarugu** is built upon the root *anuadiha*, “to disturb” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the habitual-restrictive suffix *-guarugu*, which fixes the action as a habit or sole occupation — 'in the habit of …-ing, doing nothing but'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “in the habit of disturbing / doing nothing but disturbing” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **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, larigi aban, men babununi.
