### áludawala *“let it swell up / (it) shall swell up.”* The form **áludawala** is built upon the root *áluda*, “to swell up” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the optative mood *-wala*, which projects the action as something that shall be, or is let to be. Taken whole, the word means precisely “let it swell up / (it) shall swell up” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **náluda** (“I swell up”); **báluda** (“you swell up”): 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 *“Hóuchatu húwa áluda, amagubéirugu hérenguti lún.”* — ‘The toad tried to be swollen, but it was not easy.’. [FEED:verified_sentences] *The construction rests on MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA 2026-06-24 (modal/optative paradigm, root ex. aguyaguda). 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.*
