### hagafeluha *“they ride.”* The form **hagafeluha** is built upon the root *agafeluha*, “to ride” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). 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 ride” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **nagafeluha** (“I ride”); **bagafeluha** (“you ride”): 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.*
