Academic teaching rationale
### ayusuraguaya *“[OUFUDA-family form — precise meaning pending fluent-elder validation].”* The form **ayusuraguaya** is built upon the root *ayusura*, “to use” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the element *-guaya* (OUFUDA guaya (pending elder)), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “[OUFUDA-family form — precise meaning pending fluent-elder validation]” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **nayusura** (“I use”); **bayusura** (“you use”): 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 *“Gürigia le asandirubei súnwandan gíbeya lan katei lun lichügü, gayaraati lagumeserun ayusura düroga o lárügüdün amu échuni wuribati”*. [05_sentences.CLEAN_2026-06-20] *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.*
