FIL: Manginig o kilabutan dahil sa takot, ginaw, o matinding damdamin.
EN: to shiver; to shudder (from fear or cold)
This is the physical reaction you have when you hear a scary story about a white lady on Balete Drive, or when someone unexpectedly whispers in your ear in a dark room. It's the body's 'OMG' moment, a sudden, involuntary shudder. Not just cold, but *creepy* cold.
From `mang-` (verb prefix) + `kaligkig` (shudder, shiver). The 'k' in 'kaligkig' assimilates into the 'ng' of the prefix.
ROOT MEANING: shiver, shudder, chill
Often associated with fear, horror, or disgust, more than just being cold. Differentiated from 'manginig' which is more general trembling.
