### arandarawamei *“we all apologize, make up.”* The form **arandarawamei** is built upon the root *arandara*, “to apologize, make up” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the modal person suffix *-wamei*, placing first-person plural ('we') within the modal (irrealis) series. Taken whole, the word means precisely “we all apologize, make up” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **narandara** (“I apologize, make up”); **barandara** (“you apologize, make up”): 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. Its stem is corroborated in living usage (triangulation count 11), though a sentence-length citation for this exact form still awaits collection. *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.*
