EN: to dig into; to hoard
Two meanings here! 1) The act of digging your finger into something, like getting the last bit of Nutella from the jar. 2) Figuratively, it means to hoard or keep something for yourself, like that one coworker who 'kinukulkol' all the good projects and leaves you with the boring ones.
The verb form is more common (e.g., 'kinukulkol', 'kulkolin'). As a noun, it refers to the act itself.
