Usage Note
Ilanghap is the object-focus infinitive of langhap, used when the scent, vapor, aroma, or air being drawn in through the nose is the sentence focus. Langhap covers both deliberate inhalation — savoring a fragrance or breathing in medicine vapor — and involuntary inhalation of fumes, with the actor-focus counterpart lumanghap foregrounding the person inhaling.
