Academic teaching rationale
### agahüdati *“he rusts; the male one who rusts.”* The form **agahüdati** is built upon the root *agahüda*, “to rust” (NISAMINA master dictionary). 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 rusts; the male one who rusts” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **nagahüda** (“I rust”); **bagahüda** (“you rust”): 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 *“Agahüdagua budari le, mégeitiwa ában budari iséri lun wadügüni eréba.”* — ‘This comal for baking cassaba bread is corroded, we need avnew comal to make cassava bread.’. [FEED:verified_sentences] *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.*
