### ábürügawa *“to arrive us.”* The form **ábürügawa** is built upon the root *ábürüga*, “to arrive” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the first-person-plural object suffix *-wa*, which makes 'us' the ones acted upon. Taken whole, the word means precisely “to arrive us” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **nábürüga** (“I arrive”); **bábürüga** (“you arrive”): 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 *“tuguyabawafandira ítaga wabatiña wadaahaguña chülǘ haña wadugarirua houni wabañagaa ábürüga aña wadugarirua wouni wabañagaa chülǘ haña wadugarirua woune biawü hagaóunhándagaya”*. [longform_asr_transcripts_26] *The construction rests on Quesada 2017 §3.3. 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.*
