EN: bristling of hair; getting goosebumps
This is your body's reaction when you get the creeps. When you feel a sudden chill or hear a scary story and the hair on your arms stands up? That's pamamalukag. It's the same thing a cat does when it gets scared, making itself look bigger. For humans, it's our built-in 'nope' sensor activating. It's basically the physical form of 'kilabot'.
From pa- + mam- (from ma- + balukag) + balukag. The root 'balukag' means 'bristle'.
ROOT MEANING: bristle
Closely related to 'paninindig ng balahibo' (hair standing on end).
