Academic teaching rationale
### againdatei *“she gets angry.”* The form **againdatei** is built upon the root *againda*, “to get angry/ to get mad” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the modal person suffix *-tei*, placing third-person feminine ('she') within the modal (irrealis) series. Taken whole, the word means precisely “she gets angry” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **nagainda** (“I get angry”); **bagainda** (“you get angry”): 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 *“Againdagüda lumuti iráhü lúguchuru, hanarímeti tigáin.”* — ‘The child is irritating his mother, her anger is great.’. [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.*
