### mabuyahati *“he does not make a report on someone's misdeeds.”* The form **mabuyahati** is built upon the root *abuyaha*, “to make a report on someone's misdeeds” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it are joined the privative-negative prefix *m-*, which negates the action or denies the quality outright; then the third-person masculine ('he') agreement suffix *-ti*, which fixes the subject as third-person masculine ('he'). Taken whole, the word means precisely “he does not make a report on someone's misdeeds” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **nabuyaha** (“I make a report on someone's misdeeds”); **babuyaha** (“you make a report on someone's misdeeds”): 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 Haurholm-Larsen 2016 §3.3.4 (-ti/-tu); Munro & Gallagher, 'Garifuna Negatives' (m- verbal negation). 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.*
