### ewegihawa *“to color us.”* The form **ewegihawa** is built upon the root *ewegiha*, “to color” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the first-person-plural object suffix *-wa*, which makes 'us' the ones acted upon. Taken whole, the word means precisely “to color us” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **newegiha** (“I color”); **bewegiha** (“you color”): 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 *“Ewegiha lumuti abunaguati muna lau feindira/ewegi/daseiti.”* — ‘The carpenter colors the house with paint.’. [FEED:verified_sentences] *The construction rests on Quesada 2017 §3.3. 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.*
