### amahadarügütu *“she refuses only / just; the female one who refuses.”* The form **amahadarügütu** is built upon the root *amahada*, “to refuse” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it are joined the restrictive suffix *-rügü*, which bounds the action to itself alone — 'only, just'; then the third-person feminine ('she') agreement suffix *-tu*, which fixes the subject as third-person feminine ('she'). Taken whole, the word means precisely “she refuses only / just; the female one who refuses” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **namahada** (“I refuse”); **bamahada** (“you refuse”): 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 *“Amáhada guda lumuti uyunu binu tiderugu aldea.”* — ‘The chief banned rum inside the village.’. [FEED:verified_sentences] *The construction rests on Haurholm-Larsen 2016 §3.3.4 (-ti/-tu). 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.*
