Academic teaching rationale
### awisahaguatibu *“you are constantly giving notice (various times).”* The form **awisahaguatibu** is built upon the root *awisaha*, “to give notice (various times)” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the element *-guatibu* (OUFUDA guatibu), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “you are constantly giving notice (various times)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **nawisaha** (“I give notice (various times)”); **bawisaha** (“you give notice (various times)”): 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 *“Uremu le awisahani”* — ‘How about songs done for calling,’. [elar_sg0340_eaf_gold_annotations_43] *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.*
