Garifuna is a VSO (verb-subject-object) language with complicated verb morphology and sex gender (marked here as "Noun class") for all nouns. 

At least one example is given for most words to illustrate their use in natural contexts. 

The main entry for most verbs is the basic stem (used, for example, to mention events that occurred yesterday or habitual states or conditions). The prefixable, negative, and a-stems are listed under "Morphology". The a-stem is cross-referenced in most cases (unless we forgot, or unless it is homophonous with the basic stem). 

Nouns are listed in the unpossessed form, with their possessed stems listed under "Morphology".

Our dictionary entries use the following abbreviations in addition to the regular ones employed by the Living Tongues platform: a-st = a-stem (verb), bas = basic verb stem, f = feminine, m = masculine, neg = negative verb stem, pl = plural, poss = possessed noun stem, prf = prefixable verb stem.

A few entries in the dictionary are followed by **. These are words we have questions about.
