### gulichaguadibu *“you have hugged one another (present perfect — Suazo).”* The form **gulichaguadibu** is built upon the root *gulichagua*, “to hug one another” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the present-perfect suffix *-dibu* (2SG, Suazo), 'you have V-ed'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “you have hugged one another (present perfect — Suazo)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **ngulichagua** (“I hug one another”); **bgulichagua** (“you hug one another”): 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 Suazo, Conversemos en garífuna (Guaymuras 1991/1994) — principle recorded with attribution. 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.*
