Academic teaching rationale
Why — Cause to become / cause someone to X (éfamudagüda 'to tame'; abaruhaguda 'to cause to bend'). (Magarada map + §5 (Director-ruled); _PLAN Tier A) [PRINCIPLES-ONLY — paraphrased]
Why — Causative -güda increases valency (corroborates OP:CAUS); -ra and -da also show valency-increasing uses (Quesada's punctual -ra / inchoative -da connect here). (Haurholm-Larsen, S. (2016). A Grammar of Garifuna. PhD diss., Univ. of Bern (collection upload 2026-07-17, full permission/attribution) §6.2.1–6.2.2) [PRINCIPLES-ONLY — paraphrased]
