Academic teaching rationale
### néheraagua *“I serve (food and drink).”* The form **néheraagua** is built upon the root *éheraagua*, “to serve (food and drink)” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the first-person singular subject prefix *n-*, marking first-person singular ('I') as the one who acts. Taken whole, the word means precisely “I serve (food and drink)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **béheraagua** (“you serve (food and drink)”); **léheraagua** (“he serves (food and drink)”): 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 Quesada 2017 §3 person-indexation. 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.*
