Academic teaching rationale

### agaranadala *“let (one) become thick / become thick! (imperative).”* The form **agaranadala** is built upon the root *agaranada*, “to become thick” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the imperative/hortative mood *-la*, which issues the action as a wish or command — 'let it be …'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “let (one) become thick / become thick! (imperative)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nagaranada** (“I become thick”); **bagaranada** (“you become thick”): 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 *“Agaranadati gumánana wáturugu dán lé lébelurun ásüra.”* — ‘The sweet cassava (gumánana) thickens in the oven when it enters the fire to roast.’. [FEED:verified_sentences] *The construction rests on MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA 2026-06-24 (modal/optative paradigm, root ex. aguyaguda). 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.*
