Abstract: We study stratified G-structures in $calN=2$ compactifications of M-theory on eight-manifolds $M$ using the uplift to the auxiliary nine-manifold $hatM=Mimes{S}^1$. We show that the cosmooth generalized distribution $hatcalD$ on $hatM$ which arises in this formalism may have pointwise transverse or non-transverse intersection with the pull-back of the tangent bundle of $M$, a fact which is responsible for the subtle relation between the spinor stabilizers arising on $M$ and $hatM$ and for the complicated stratified G-structure on $M$ which we uncovered in previous work. We give a direct explanation of the latter in terms of the former and relate explicitly the defining forms of the $mathrmSU(2)$ structure which exists on the generic locus $calU$ of $M$ to the defining forms of the $mathrmSU(3)$ structure which exists on an open subset $hatcalU$ of $hatM$, thus providing a dictionary between the eight- and nine-dimensional formalisms.
