### áhügühahani *“the (habitual) act of hiccoughing.”* The form **áhügühahani** is built upon the root *áhügüha*, “to hiccough” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the element *-hani* (OUFUDA hani), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “the (habitual) act of hiccoughing” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **náhügüha** (“I hiccough”); **báhügüha** (“you hiccough”): 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 *“Áhügühati(m)/tu(fm) kriatura lárigi latun miligi.”* — ‘The baby hiccups after drinking milk.’. [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 fluent-elder validation rather than asserted as attested.*
