### eweruchaguahamai *“they all bite off mouthful.”* The form **eweruchaguahamai** is built upon the root *eweruchagua*, “to bite off mouthful” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the modal person suffix *-hamai*, placing third-person plural ('they') within the modal (irrealis) series. Taken whole, the word means precisely “they all bite off mouthful” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **neweruchagua** (“I bite off mouthful”); **beweruchagua** (“you bite off mouthful”): 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.*
