### esenihadugutu *“she frequently fishes with a net (aimlessly, with no aim or destination).”* The form **esenihadugutu** is built upon the root *eseniha*, “to fish with a net” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it are joined the frequentative-aimless suffix *-dugu*, which casts the action as habitual yet purposeless — repeated over and over, with no aim or destination; then the third-person feminine ('she') agreement suffix *-tu*, which fixes the subject as third-person feminine ('she'). Taken whole, the word means precisely “she frequently fishes with a net (aimlessly, with no aim or destination)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Placed beside its siblings, **neseniha** (“I fish with a net”); **beseniha** (“you fish with a net”): 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 *“ába laríñagun Simón Pédro hoún. —neíbuga eséniha. ába haríñagun lún. —Weíbuga gíñe búma. ába hádinun tídoun hagúne, ába hoúdin, mañúguntiña ní káta áriebu ligía”*.
