### alégehaguarugu *“in the habit of disputing / doing nothing but disputing.”* The form **alégehaguarugu** is built upon the root *alégeha*, “to dispute” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the habitual-restrictive suffix *-guarugu*, which fixes the action as a habit or sole occupation — 'in the habit of …-ing, doing nothing but'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “in the habit of disputing / doing nothing but disputing” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **nalégeha** (“I dispute”); **balégeha** (“you dispute”): 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 *“Miyábi baa alégeha núbiyoun.”* — ‘Don't come argue in my house.’. [FEED:verified_sentences] *The construction rests on MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA 2026-06-24 (eibuga aspect family: -dugu frequentative / -gubeiyein perfect-continuous). 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.*
