Academic teaching rationale

### íridaguadügütu *“she is a constant namer — she does it constantly, for no apparent reason.”* The form **íridaguadügütu** is built upon the root *írida*, “to name” (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 *-tu* (3SG.F agentive (no prefix)), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “she is a constant namer — she does it constantly, for no apparent reason” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **nírida** (“I name”); **bírida** (“you name”): 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 *“Írida bei súngubei, Tía Tina, lúmagien furumienti.”* — ‘Name it all, Tia Tina, from the first [=beginning].’. [ailla_5889_grandmothers_pairs] *The construction rests on Haurholm-Larsen 2016 §3.3.4 (-ti/-tu); MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA 2026-06-24 (constant-habitual -guadügü/-guarügü/-guadugu 'constantly / for no apparent reason').
