Academic teaching rationale
### naweinra *“I climb, to mount.”* The form **naweinra** is built upon the root *aweinra*, “to climb, to mount” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). 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 climb, to mount” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **baweinra** (“you climb, to mount”); **laweinra** (“he climbs to mount”): 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 *“nihan sandi aweinra tuagu nura buru buru nu nei”* — ‘thaere illness here which has overcome my entire body’. [elar_sg0340_eaf_gold_annotations_43] *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.*
