Academic teaching rationale
### achurahaguati *“he is constantly criticizing (continuative action) / the male one who constantly criticizes (continuative action).”* The form **achurahaguati** is built upon the root *achuraha*, “to criticize (continuative action)” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the element *-guati* (OUFUDA guati), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “he is constantly criticizing (continuative action) / the male one who constantly criticizes (continuative action)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **nachuraha** (“I criticize (continuative action)”); **bachuraha** (“you criticize (continuative action)”): 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 *“Mídi baa achúraha ligísirugu.”* — ‘Don't gossip in church.’. [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 fluen
