### ahurunduharu *“she has gasped (present perfect — Suazo).”* The form **ahurunduharu** is built upon the root *ahurunduha*, “to gasp” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the present-perfect suffix *-ru* (3SG.F, Suazo), 'she has V-ed'. Taken whole, the word means precisely “she has gasped (present perfect — Suazo)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **nahurunduha** (“I gasp”); **bahurunduha** (“you gasp”): 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. *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.*
