Academic teaching rationale
### agindati *“he bears fruit; the male one who bears fruit.”* The form **agindati** is built upon the root *aginda*, “to bear fruit” (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 bears fruit; the male one who bears fruit” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **naginda** (“I bear fruit”); **baginda** (“you bear fruit”): 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. *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.*
