Academic teaching rationale

### akanhaguadügüti *“he is a constant crack the knucklesser — he does it constantly, for no apparent reason.”* The form **akanhaguadügüti** is built upon the root *akanha*, “to crack the knuckles” (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 *-ti* (3SG.M agentive (no prefix)), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “he is a constant crack the knucklesser — he does it constantly, for no apparent reason” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nakanha** (“I crack the knuckles”); **bakanha** (“you crack the knuckles”): 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 Haurholm-Larsen 2016 §3.3.4 (-ti/-tu); MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA 2026-06-24 (constant-habitual -guadügü/-guarügü/-guadugu 'constantly / for no apparent reason'). 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.*
