The infinitive stem is Eiga, and the present/past stem is houti(...). Why is there this difference between the infinitive and the present? Is this a stem change?
For Example in English we say "to eat" (infinitive) and "I eat, you eat, etc.", but the root remains the same "eat". Why in Garifuna is there that change: eiga/houti(...)?
because the verb eat - eiga is irregular (you eat - beiga)

Thank you, and best regards from Italy
