### ayumuraguau *“[OUFUDA-family form — precise meaning pending fluent-elder validation].”* The form **ayumuraguau** is built upon the root *ayumura*, “to praise ayumúruni” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the element *-guau* (OUFUDA guau (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. To see its precise force, compare **nayumura** (“I praise ayumúruni”); **bayumura** (“you praise ayumúruni”): 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 *“agágudúañu humá, ayúmuragua hugúyame, máburuhan humámuga lídoun ínchahoúni lún heféridiruni hafíñen nuágu. inárüni luágu Ánha tan huwáni lún kátei lé buídubei, Ánheinti húgubu, débiliti”*. [05_sentences.CLEAN_2026-06-20] *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
