Academic teaching rationale
### eyeehaguadügütibu *“you are a constant lie (in general)er — you do it constantly, for no apparent reason.”* The form **eyeehaguadügütibu** is built upon the root *eyeeha*, “to lie (in general)” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it are joined the element *-guadügü* (CONST.HAB 'constantly / for no apparent reason'), whose force is given by the elder paradigm; then the element *-tibu* (2SG agentive (no prefix)), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “you are a constant lie (in general)er — you do it constantly, for no apparent reason” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **neyeeha** (“I lie (in general)”); **beyeeha** (“you lie (in general)”): 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 *“Lúnrügü habihini gürigia le habusenrubei lau mabusigari, eyeehatiña luagu hasubudin luma le hayarabei adüga dan le háluahan wadagimanu”*.
