### netenira *“I attend to.”* The form **netenira** is built upon the root *etenira*, “to attend to” (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 attend to” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **betenira** (“you attend to”); **letenira** (“he attends to”): 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. While a citation of this exact form still awaits collection, its root is heard in living speech, as in *“Tayusurubei úguchuru liibe-agei tidaani etenira lun irahü”*. [05_sentences.CLEAN_2026-06-20] *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.*
