Academic teaching rationale

### áhulaguanaruguti *“he only pulls out, uproot áhuluni / he simply pulls out, uproot áhuluni (does nothing but pull out, uproot áhuluni).”* The form **áhulaguanaruguti** is built upon the root *áhula*, “to pull out, uproot áhuluni” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it are joined the element *-guanarugu* (RST 'only / simply / merely'), whose force is given by the elder paradigm; then the element *-ti* (3SG.M agentive (no prefix)), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “he only pulls out, uproot áhuluni / he simply pulls out, uproot áhuluni (does nothing but pull out, uproot áhuluni)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **náhula** (“I pull out, uproot áhuluni”); **báhula** (“you pull out, uproot áhuluni”): 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 *“Ayánhein dunúru áhulaha héweraü lídangiyen múwa.”* — ‘Birds are pulling worms out of the ground.’. [FEED:verified_sentences] *The construction rests on Haurholm-Larsen 2016 §3.3.4 (-ti/-tu); MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MA
