Academic teaching rationale

### gabusenrati *“he wants well; the male one who wants well.”* The form **gabusenrati** is built upon the root *abusenra*, “to want” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it are joined the attributive prefix *ga-*, which, set before a verb, says the action is done well or skilfully — and before a noun, 'having / with'; then the element *-ti* (3SG.M/AGT), whose force is given by the elder paradigm. Taken whole, the word means precisely “he wants well; the male one who wants well” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nabusenra** (“I want”); **babusenra** (“you want”): 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 13), though a sentence-length citation for this exact form still awaits collection. *The construction rests on Haurholm-Larsen 2016 §3.3.4 (-ti/-tu); 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.*
