How the form is built
Root: ehemeda — To emit a discernible odor
-ouwa passive (ELD-09⑤) [OP:OUWA]
Applied laws: OP:OUWA
Academic teaching rationale
Why — Passive/impersonal voice: 'it is/was X-ed'. SEAM LAW: a-final root elides its final a before ouwa (áluaha → áluahouwa-). Stacks (elder-dictated on the negative): máluahouwala 'it was not even attempted/sought'; máluahouwagubeiyein 'it has never been sought'; máluahouwaruguti 'it is just not sought'; máluahouwarügüliya 'it just has not been sought' (-liya exponent); máluahouwagubeirugula 'it may as well not be sought' (ELD-20260717-09 (verbatim dictation); cf. Munro passive -wa/-uwa (N-áfaru-wu ba); Magarada §5 adügüwa 'made') [FULL-AUTHOR-GRANT]
