### aheraguahani *“the (habitual) act of serving.”* The form **aheraguahani** is built upon the root *aheragua*, “to serve” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the element *-hani* (OUFUDA hani), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “the (habitual) act of serving” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **naheragua** (“I serve”); **baheragua** (“you serve”): 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.*
