Usage Note
Waldasin is the object-focus form of waldas, placing the money or resource being squandered as the grammatical focus. The object-focus framing naturally fits contexts where a specific sum — a salary, savings, or inheritance — is the thing at stake, and it pairs with magwaldas when the spender rather than the amount is foregrounded.
