### adaguabei *“you build.”* The form **adaguabei** is built upon the root *adagua*, “to build” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the modal person suffix *-bei*, placing second-person singular ('you') within the modal (irrealis) series. Taken whole, the word means precisely “you build” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **nadagua** (“I build”); **badagua** (“you build”): 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 *“hasura adagua bau”* — ‘they do a lot of negative things with you.’. [elar_sg0340_eaf_gold_annotations_43] *The construction rests on MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA 2026-06-24 (modal/optative paradigm, root ex. aguyaguda). 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.*
