### achubarali *“he has jumped (present perfect — Suazo).”* The form **achubarali** is built upon the root *achubara*, “to jump” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the present-perfect suffix *-li* (3SG.M, Suazo), 'he has V-ed'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “he has jumped (present perfect — Suazo)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **nachubara** (“I jump”); **bachubara** (“you jump”): 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 *“h-achúbara n-umáda-gu”* — ‘my friends jumped’. [FEED:Steffen_Haurholm_Larsen.dissertation_2016] *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.*
