Usage Note
Yurakan is the object-focus form of yurak, with the -an suffix marking the thing trampled or violated as the grammatical focus. Overwhelmingly used in figurative and political language — human rights, dignity, and sovereignty are the canonical objects — rather than physical trampling, which gives the word its rhetorical weight.
