### ayoraguala *“let (one) bid goodbye / bid goodbye! (imperative).”* The form **ayoraguala** is built upon the root *ayoragua*, “to bid goodbye” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the imperative/hortative mood *-la*, which issues the action as a wish or command — 'let it be …'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “let (one) bid goodbye / bid goodbye! (imperative)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **nayoragua** (“I bid goodbye”); **bayoragua** (“you bid goodbye”): 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.*
