Academic teaching rationale
Why — Middle/reflexive ('to X oneself / each other'); Director also rules a continuous reading ('to constantly X': adügagua 'to constantly make'). Distinct from -wa 1PL object ('us': eigawa 'eat us'). (Magarada map + §5; Unit II (massive)) [PRINCIPLES-ONLY — paraphrased]
Why — -gwa reduces transitive valency: reflexive (patient suffix replaced by -gwa, erstwhile patient promoted to prefix; followed by the oblique ún-gwa 'to-self'), reciprocal (partial A/P overlap), anticausative (only P remains). Often surfaces as -gu through morphophonology; -gúwa when stressed. (Haurholm-Larsen, S. (2016). A Grammar of Garifuna.
