Usage Note
Sugurin is the -in object-focus form of sugod, used when the target of the charge or attack is the grammatical focus. It pairs with the actor-focus sumugod; sugurin foregrounds the destination or adversary rather than the attacker, and is common in military narratives and action-oriented storytelling.
