### éheluhawamei *“we all lick repeatedly éheluhani.”* The form **éheluhawamei** is built upon the root *éheluha*, “to lick repeatedly éheluhani” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the modal person suffix *-wamei*, placing first-person plural ('we') within the modal (irrealis) series. Taken whole, the word means precisely “we all lick repeatedly éheluhani” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **néheluha** (“I lick repeatedly éheluhani”); **béheluha** (“you lick repeatedly éheluhani”): 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 *“Éheluha lumuti Jack asíyedu harúmagubei.”* — ‘Jack licked the plate clean.’. [FEED:verified_sentences] *The construction rests on MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA 2026-06-24 (modal/optative paradigm, root ex. aguyaguda). 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.*
