Academic teaching rationale
### mayudati *“he does not be due.”* The form **mayudati** is built upon the root *ayuda*, “to be due” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it are joined the privative-negative prefix *m-*, which negates the action or denies the quality outright; then the third-person masculine ('he') agreement suffix *-ti*, which fixes the subject as third-person masculine ('he'). Taken whole, the word means precisely “he does not be due” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **nayuda** (“I be due”); **bayuda** (“you be due”): 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 *“Ayé kei aban ayuda.”* — ‘Yes, as a help.’. [ailla_5889_grandmothers_pairs] *The construction rests on Haurholm-Larsen 2016 §3.3.4 (-ti/-tu); Munro & Gallagher, 'Garifuna Negatives' (m- verbal negation). 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.*
