Usage Note
Latiguhin is the object-focus infinitive of latigo, a Spanish loanword (látigo), used when the person or animal being struck is the grammatical focus. The final 'o' shifts to 'u' before '-hin' through standard Tagalog phonological assimilation. Found in historical narratives about colonial punishment, agricultural contexts, and figurative descriptions of sharp criticism; the actor-focus counterpart is maglatigo.
