Academic teaching rationale
### wakiluha *“we scoop akiluhani.”* The form **wakiluha** is built upon the root *akiluha*, “to scoop akiluhani” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the first-person plural subject prefix *wa-*, marking first-person plural ('we') as the one who acts. Taken whole, the word means precisely “we scoop akiluhani” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **nakiluha** (“I scoop akiluhani”); **bakiluha** (“you scoop akiluhani”): 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.*
