Academic teaching rationale
### águragua *“to constantly throw away / to be in the act of throw awaying.”* The form **águragua** is built upon the root *águra*, “to throw away” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the continuous/middle suffix *-gua*, which holds the subject in the ongoing act — 'to be constantly …-ing'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “to constantly throw away / to be in the act of throw awaying” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **nágura** (“I throw away”); **bágura** (“you throw away”): 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 *“Düdüti, düdüti, agura ya ta.”* — ‘Torn from here.’. [ailla_5889_grandmothers_pairs] *The construction rests on Haurholm-Larsen 2016 §3.3.4 (-ti/-tu). 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.*
