### néheragua *“I serve food.”* The form **néheragua** is built upon the root *éheragua*, “to serve food” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the first-person singular subject prefix *n-*, marking first-person singular ('I') as the one who acts. Taken whole, the word means precisely “I serve food” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **béheragua** (“you serve food”); **léheragua** (“he serves food”): 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 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.*
