### aturiagüdalei *“he has someone studying.”* The form **aturiagüdalei** is built upon the root *aturiagüda*, “to have someone studying” (Lila Garífuna Diccionario (Suazo)). To it is joined the modal person suffix *-lei*, placing third-person masculine ('he') within the modal (irrealis) series. Taken whole, the word means precisely “he has someone studying” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **naturiagüda** (“I have someone studying”); **baturiagüda** (“you have someone studying”): 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 (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.*
