EN: scratch (from an itch)
That feeling when a mosquito bites you and you just have to... **kamot**! It's the act of scratching an itch. Sometimes, sobrang sarap magkamot, but then you get a 'sugat' (wound). Also used figuratively when you're 'nagkakamot ng ulo' (scratching your head) because you're confused or have no money.
The verb form is 'kamutin' (to scratch something) or 'magkamot' (to scratch oneself).
