### ehemeradadina *“I have scorched (present perfect — Suazo).”* The form **ehemeradadina** is built upon the root *ehemerada*, “to scorch” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the present-perfect suffix *-dina* (1SG, Suazo), which reports the action as completed by the speaker — 'I have V-ed'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “I have scorched (present perfect — Suazo)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **nehemerada** (“I scorch”); **behemerada** (“you scorch”): 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.*
