yuputka

the phantom sensation of something crawling on your skin

🐜

This word comes from Ulwa, part of the Sumo (or Sumu) group of Misumalpan languages spoken by indiginous people in Nicaragua and parts of Honduras.


Thank you @Magess for submitting this creepily beautiful word in last week's XYZ Challenge. It was the hands-down favourite.
