EN: to feel numb or tingly; to have pins and needles
This is the feeling you get in your butt after a 4-hour meeting that could've been an email, or in your arm after your partner uses it as a pillow all night. It's that 'asleep' limb sensation, the body's way of saying 'Hoy, galaw-galaw din 'pag may time!'
From `ma-` (stative verb prefix) + `ngalay` (numbness, fatigue in a limb).
'Ngalay' is the noun form for the sensation itself. 'Mangalay' is the verb 'to experience ngalay'.
