Academic teaching rationale
### agurudaguatiya *“they are constantly wiping.”* The form **agurudaguatiya** is built upon the root *aguruda*, “to wipe/to delete/ to erase” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the element *-guatiya* (OUFUDA guatiya), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “they are constantly wiping” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **naguruda** (“I wipe”); **baguruda** (“you wipe”): 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 *“Aguruda lumuti Dudei (parrot fish) anabuni wuríbati luwéigien fulansu lun larúfudun ában dimúrei buíti.”* — ‘The man erased the cuss word from the wood to show a good word.’. [FEED:verified_sentences] *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.*
