### eyehali *“he has lied eyehani (present perfect — Suazo).”* The form **eyehali** is built upon the root *eyeha*, “to lie eyehani” (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 lied eyehani (present perfect — Suazo)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. To see its precise force, compare **neyeha** (“I lie eyehani”); **beyeha** (“you lie eyehani”): 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.*
