Academic teaching rationale
### ariwachaguawa *“to stretch out (dead person usually, or live person lyingflat) us.”* The form **ariwachaguawa** is built upon the root *ariwachagua*, “to stretch out (dead person usually, or live person lyingflat)” (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 stretch out (dead person usually, or live person lyingflat) us” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **nariwachagua** (“I stretch out (dead person usually, or live person lyingflat)”); **bariwachagua** (“you stretch out (dead person usually, or live person lyingflat)”): 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 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.*
