### agüredihali *“he has hoed clean with a hoe (present perfect — Suazo).”* The form **agüredihali** is built upon the root *agürediha*, “to hoe, clean with a hoe” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the present-perfect suffix *-li* (3SG.M, Suazo), 'he has V-ed'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “he has hoed clean with a hoe (present perfect — Suazo)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nagürediha** (“I hoe, clean with a hoe”); **bagürediha** (“you hoe, clean with a hoe”): 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.*
