### eibahadibu *“you have pursued (present perfect — Suazo).”* The form **eibahadibu** is built upon the root *eibaha*, “to pursue/ to follow/ to chase” (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 pursued (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, **neibaha** (“I pursue”); **beibaha** (“you pursue”): 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 *“Éibaha laa gegéu éibahati.”* — ‘The peccary chased the hunter.’. [FEED:verified_sentences] *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.*
