### akuparadiwa *“we have needed (present perfect — Suazo).”* The form **akuparadiwa** is built upon the root *akupara*, “to need” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the present-perfect suffix *-diwa* (1PL, Suazo), 'we have V-ed'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “we have needed (present perfect — Suazo)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nakupara** (“I need”); **bakupara** (“you need”): 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.*
