### abimehaguarugu *“in the habit of bribing to entice abimehani / doing nothing but bribing to entice abimehani.”* The form **abimehaguarugu** is built upon the root *abimeha*, “to bribe, to entice abimehani” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the habitual-restrictive suffix *-guarugu*, which fixes the action as a habit or sole occupation — 'in the habit of …-ing, doing nothing but'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “in the habit of bribing to entice abimehani / doing nothing but bribing to entice abimehani” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **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.’.
