### aganbahadiu *“you all have listened (present perfect — Suazo).”* The form **aganbahadiu** is built upon the root *aganbaha*, “to listen” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the present-perfect suffix *-diu* (2PL, Suazo), 'you all have V-ed'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “you all have listened (present perfect — Suazo)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **naganbaha** (“I listen”); **baganbaha** (“you listen”): 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 *“aganbaha nuagu ka lan gürigia nuguya”* — ‘to listen to me about what person I am’. [catatu_midwifery_interview_interlinear] *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.*
