### akaünhali *“he has given coconut to someone (present perfect — Suazo).”* The form **akaünhali** is built upon the root *akaünha*, “To give coconut to someone” (Lila Garífuna Diccionario (Suazo)). To it is joined the present-perfect suffix *-li* (3SG.M, Suazo), 'he has V-ed'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “he has given coconut to someone (present perfect — Suazo)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **nakaünha** (“I give coconut to someone”); **bakaünha** (“you give coconut to someone”): 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.*
