Usage Note
Sanibin is the object-focus -in form of sanib, foregrounding the entity being merged or — in folk-religious usage — the body being entered by a spirit. The two senses coexist: corporate documents merged into a single file and a person inhabited by a supernatural force are both sanibin constructions. Pairs with the actor-focus sumanib.
