### magaraühati *“he does not have children by different men or women.”* The form **magaraühati** is built upon the root *agaraüha*, “to have children by different men or women” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it are joined the privative-negative prefix *m-*, which negates the action or denies the quality outright; then the third-person masculine ('he') agreement suffix *-ti*, which fixes the subject as third-person masculine ('he'). Taken whole, the word means precisely “he does not have children by different men or women” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nagaraüha** (“I have children by different men or women”); **bagaraüha** (“you have children by different men or women”): 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 Haurholm-Larsen 2016 §3.3.4 (-ti/-tu); Munro & Gallagher, 'Garifuna Negatives' (m- verbal negation). 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.*
