### áturawamei *“we all throw out a liquid.”* The form **áturawamei** is built upon the root *átura*, “to throw out a liquid” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the modal person suffix *-wamei*, placing first-person plural ('we') within the modal (irrealis) series. Taken whole, the word means precisely “we all throw out a liquid” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **nátura** (“I throw out a liquid”); **bátura** (“you throw out a liquid”): 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 *“i naalua heyabaru o selesine i nalunwa haiyabaru o nanuurihani buga atura”*. [longform_asr_transcripts_26] *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.*
