Academic teaching rationale
### ayumuraguda *“to cause (someone) to praise ayumúruni.”* The form **ayumuraguda** is built upon the root *ayumura*, “to praise ayumúruni” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the causative suffix *-guda*, which turns the action outward — to cause or make someone else perform it. Taken whole, the word means precisely “to cause (someone) to praise ayumúruni” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nayumura** (“I praise ayumúruni”); **bayumura** (“you praise ayumúruni”): 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 *“agágudúañu humá, ayúmuragua hugúyame, máburuhan humámuga lídoun ínchahoúni lún heféridiruni hafíñen nuágu. inárüni luágu Ánha tan huwáni lún kátei lé buídubei, Ánheinti húgubu, débiliti”*. [05_sentences.CLEAN_2026-06-20] *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.*
