Academic teaching rationale
### éñeguhaguaya *“[OUFUDA-family form — precise meaning pending fluent-elder validation].”* The form **éñeguhaguaya** is built upon the root *éñeguha*, “to extinguish, e.g., candles, fires éñeguhani éñegura/éñegurau, embers” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the element *-guaya* (OUFUDA guaya (pending elder)), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “[OUFUDA-family form — precise meaning pending fluent-elder validation]” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **néñeguha** (“I extinguish, e.g., candles, fires éñeguhani éñegura”); **béñeguha** (“you extinguish, e.g., candles, fires éñeguhani éñegura”): 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 *“Éñegucha lumuti éñeguhati watu tuagu tidibu góubana.”* — ‘The firefighter extinguishes the burning mahogany tree.’. [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
