### awüribuhagubeirugu *“[OUFUDA-family form — precise meaning pending fluent-elder validation].”* The form **awüribuhagubeirugu** is built upon the root *awüribuha*, “to battle, be engaged in a fight” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the element *-gubeirugu* (OUFUDA gubeirugu (pending elder)), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “[OUFUDA-family form — precise meaning pending fluent-elder validation]” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **nawüribuha** (“I battle, be engaged in a fight”); **bawüribuha** (“you battle, be engaged in a fight”): 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 *“Lageíndaguba ában fulásu lúma ában, awúribuha ligíame ában ageíraü lúma ámu. ñíbei hárabaganáli lídan sarágu fulásu, ilámaü, chagáguaü, áni súnme burí kátei lé, lagúmeseharügügilime lé lúnbei lasúfurirúniwa”*.
