### ekeheraguatiwa *“we are constantly complaining.”* The form **ekeheraguatiwa** is built upon the root *ekehera*, “to complain” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the element *-guatiwa* (OUFUDA guatiwa), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “we are constantly complaining” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **nekehera** (“I complain”); **bekehera** (“you complain”): 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. *The construction rests on MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA 2026-06-24 (OUFUDA master suffix family — his exclusive contribution). 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.*
