### ayanuhahani *“the (habitual) act of conversing at.”* The form **ayanuhahani** is built upon the root *ayanuha*, “to converse at” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the element *-hani* (OUFUDA hani), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “the (habitual) act of conversing at” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nayanuha** (“I converse at”); **bayanuha** (“you converse at”): 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 *“tubuguri catoun toh aban lidan ayanuha tuma lan weiyun lubuguri katei le”* — ‘about this situation so he went and spoke to his wife about this same situation’. [elar_sg0340_eaf_gold_annotations_43] *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.*
