### átuluhagubeirugu *“[OUFUDA-family form — precise meaning pending fluent-elder validation].”* The form **átuluhagubeirugu** is built upon the root *átuluha*, “to fall off (leaves)” (NISAMINA master dictionary). 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. Set against its kin, **nátuluha** (“I fall off (leaves)”); **bátuluha** (“you fall off (leaves)”): 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.*
