### awanserati *“he advances make progress; the male one who advances make progress.”* The form **awanserati** is built upon the root *awansera*, “to advance, make progress” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the element *-ti* (3SG.M/AGT), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “he advances make progress; the male one who advances make progress” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **nawansera** (“I advance, make progress”); **bawansera** (“you advance, make progress”): 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 *“awansera hamamuga Garinagu”* — ‘so that Garinagu can advance’. [elar_sg0340_eaf_gold_annotations_43] *The construction rests on Haurholm-Larsen 2016 §3.3.4 (-ti/-tu). 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.*
