### abuluhatiburiha *“he would habitually be submerged repeatedly / he usually is submerged repeatedly.”* The form **abuluhatiburiha** is built upon the root *abuluha*, “to be submerged repeatedly” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it are joined the third-person masculine ('he') agreement suffix *-ti*, which fixes the subject as third-person masculine ('he'); then the habitual suffix *-buriha*, which makes the action one's customary practice — 'would usually, habitually, as a rule'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “he would habitually be submerged repeatedly / he usually is submerged repeatedly” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nabuluha** (“I be submerged repeatedly”); **babuluha** (“you be submerged repeatedly”): 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 *“Néibuga abúluha wadábu ubóuhu.”* — ‘I'm going diving for conch on the caye.’.
