### bañugucha *“you scratch, rub to.”* The form **bañugucha** is built upon the root *añugucha*, “to scratch, rub to” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the second-person singular subject prefix *b-*, marking second-person singular ('you') as the one who acts. Taken whole, the word means precisely “you scratch, rub to” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **nañugucha** (“I scratch, rub to”); **lañugucha** (“he scratches rub to”): 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 Quesada 2017 §3 person-indexation. 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.*
