### alouchahamugala *“(one) should become frightened.”* The form **alouchahamugala** is built upon the root *aloucha*, “to become frightened” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the obligative mood *-hamugala*, which frames the action as what ought to happen. Taken whole, the word means precisely “(one) should become frightened” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **naloucha** (“I become frightened”); **baloucha** (“you become frightened”): 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 (modal/optative paradigm, root ex. aguyaguda). 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.*
