### abimehani *“the act of bribe, to entice abimehaniing.”* The form **abimehani** is built upon the root *abimeha*, “to bribe, to entice abimehani” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the nominalising suffix *-ni*, which names the very act or state of the verb. Taken whole, the word means precisely “the act of bribe, to entice abimehaniing” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **nabimeha** (“I bribe, to entice abimehani”); **babimeha** (“you bribe, to entice abimehani”): 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 *“luba me ti larigi abimeha haru würi to aba hafaragaduni”* — ‘Only when they have won the woman over do they unwind their tails.’. [elar_sg0340_eaf_gold_annotations_43] *The construction rests on Quesada 2017 §3.3. 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.*
