Academic teaching rationale

### áhiuhaguanarugutiña *“they only track / they simply track (does nothing but track).”* The form **áhiuhaguanarugutiña** is built upon the root *áhiuha*, “to track/ to trail/ to search/ to comb” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it are joined the element *-guanarugu* (RST 'only / simply / merely'), whose force is given by the elder paradigm; then the element *-tiña* (3PL agentive (no prefix)), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “they only track / they simply track (does nothing but track)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **náhiuha** (“I track”); **báhiuha** (“you track”): 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.*
