Usage Note
Hamigin is the object-focus infinitive of hamig, used when the winnings, money, or possessions being swept up are the grammatical focus. It retains the slightly eager or acquisitive tone of the root and is most at home in gambling contexts and colloquial accounts of someone claiming a large share of something; the actor-focus partner is humamig.
