Academic teaching rationale
### hawarabada *“they sleepwalk.”* The form **hawarabada** is built upon the root *awarabada*, “to sleepwalk” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the third-person plural subject prefix *ha-*, marking third-person plural ('they') as the one who acts. Taken whole, the word means precisely “they sleepwalk” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **nawarabada** (“I sleepwalk”); **bawarabada** (“you sleepwalk”): 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.*
