EN: to be afflicted with cramps
That feeling when your leg suddenly decides to turn into a rock at 3 AM for no reason. 'Aray, kinakalamay ako!' is the official battle cry. It's your muscle's way of saying 'I hate you' and seizing up in protest, usually after a long day of walking or a sudden weird movement.
A less common term for having cramps. The more common verbs are 'pulikatin' or 'kalambrihin'. The root 'kalamay' (cramp) is not to be confused with 'kalamay' (rice cake).
