### adilihanei *“I calm (things in general).”* The form **adilihanei** is built upon the root *adiliha*, “to calm (things in general)” (NISAMINA master dictionary). To it is joined the modal person suffix *-nei*, placing first-person singular ('I') within the modal (irrealis) series. Taken whole, the word means precisely “I calm (things in general)” — its gloss states the fully-inflected sense, never the bare meaning of the root. Among the forms built on the same root, **nadiliha** (“I calm (things in general)”); **badiliha** (“you calm (things in general)”): 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 MARAGAÑ (Shaka) MAGARADA 2026-06-24 (modal/optative paradigm, root ex. aguyaguda). 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.*
