### emenigidani *“the act of depend uponing.”* The form **emenigidani** is built upon the root *emenigida*, “to depend upon” (NISAMINA master dictionary). 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 depend uponing” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **nemenigida** (“I depend upon”); **bemenigida** (“you depend upon”): 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. Its stem is corroborated in living usage (triangulation count 2), though a sentence-length citation for this exact form still awaits collection. *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.*
