Academic teaching rationale
### agilagiladani *“the act of debilitateing.”* The form **agilagiladani** is built upon the root *agilagilada*, “to debilitate/ to weaken/ to languish” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the nominalising suffix *-ni*, which names the very act or state of the verb. Taken whole, the word means precisely “the act of debilitateing” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **nagilagilada** (“I debilitate”); **bagilagilada** (“you debilitate”): 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 *“Agílagilada heina liña tárii.”* — ‘Her tooth has been consistently getting loose.’. [FEED:verified_sentences] *The construction rests on Quesada 2017 §3.3. 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.*
