### esenihawamali *“we have already fished with a net (it) / we just fished with a net (it) — it just happened.”* The form **esenihawamali** is built upon the root *eseniha*, “to fish with a net” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the immediate-perfective suffix *-wamali* (1PL), which reports the action as already completed — 'we have just done it, it just happened' (not a request). Taken whole, the word means precisely “we have already fished with a net (it) / we just fished with a net (it) — it just happened” — 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”*.
