Academic teaching rationale
### tárüha *“she takes by (the hand).”* The form **tárüha** is built upon the root *árüha*, “to take by (the hand)” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the third-person feminine subject prefix *t-*, marking third-person feminine ('she') as the one who acts. Taken whole, the word means precisely “she takes by (the hand)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **nárüha** (“I take by (the hand)”); **bárüha** (“you take by (the hand)”): 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. Its stem is corroborated in living usage (triangulation count 1), though a sentence-length citation for this exact form still awaits collection. *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.*
