Usage Note
Angkinin is the object-focus infinitive of 'angkin', placing the thing being claimed at the center of the sentence. It often implies illegitimate appropriation — claiming credit, land, or ideas that rightfully belong to another — and is common in moral and legal discourse alongside the actor-focus 'mang-angkin'.
