### ayudaguaya *“[OUFUDA-family form — precise meaning pending fluent-elder validation].”* The form **ayudaguaya** is built upon the root *ayuda*, “to be due” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the element *-guaya* (OUFUDA guaya (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. Among the forms built on the same root, **nayuda** (“I be due”); **bayuda** (“you be due”): 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 *“Ayé kei aban ayuda.”* — ‘Yes, as a help.’. [ailla_5889_grandmothers_pairs] *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 — and so it is offered for fluent-elder validation rather than asserted as attested.*
