### talasaha *“she searches seek, look for alasahani.”* The form **talasaha** is built upon the root *alasaha*, “to search, seek, look for alasahani” (The People's Garifuna Dictionary (Cayetano)). To it is joined the third-person feminine subject prefix *t-*, marking third-person feminine ('she') as the one who acts. Taken whole, the word means precisely “she searches seek, look for alasahani” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Set against its kin, **nalasaha** (“I search, seek, look for alasahani”); **balasaha** (“you search, seek, look for alasahani”): 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 Quesada 2017 §3 person-indexation. 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.*
