Academic teaching rationale
Why — A recurring bare person-agreement exponent set — 1sg=-na, 2sg=-ba, 3m=-la, 3f=-ta, 1pl=-wama, 2pl=-huma, 3pl=-hama — dictated by the Director on the paradigm of abagarida 'to live/revive' (abagaridaNA/BA/LA/TA/WAMA/HUMA/HAMA = I/you/he/she/we/you-all/they [live]). This is the SAME exponent skeleton that other already-coded families build on top of: ELD-20260717-04's optative family (-nei/-bei/-lei/-tei/-wamei/-humei/ (MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA — ELD-20260717-11 (elder-dictated 2026-07-17)) [PRINCIPLES-ONLY — paraphrased]
