### gufurumagueina *“while being possessed by a spirit.”* The form **gufurumagueina** is built upon the root *gufuruma*, “to be possessed by a spirit” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the simultaneous suffix *-gueina* ('while'), which sets the action as the backdrop to another — 'while …-ing' (allomorphs -heina/-guena). Taken whole, the word means precisely “while being possessed by a spirit” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **ngufuruma** (“I be possessed by a spirit”); **bgufuruma** (“you be possessed by a spirit”): 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 *“Añahein amu, másiñati gufuruma hamá lau le hadügübei lidan heseriwidun lun ani marihin hamuti megei hamá lun hawanserun. w19.10 páh. 20 pár. 1, 2 Línsiñegu seinsu ligía lílagülebei sun luwuyeri wuribani ( 1 Tim. )”*.
