Paiwan Every Day 36: miling // milimilingan

I watched "Howl's Moving Castle" (2004) today and felt very moved by the story and its characters.

In Paiwan, there are two types of stories: milimilingan and tjaucikel. I think this animation is more of the former than the latter, although it is also didactic in a sense.

liaw a milimilingan nua paiwan. 

In English:
Paiwan people have many tales.

Glossary: 

1. liaw: many, used for objects and things
2. mili-miling-an: fairy tale or story; the root is miling 'everlasting' in reduplication (RED). 
3. nua: of
4. paiwan: Paiwan, the second largest indigenous people in Taiwan (population 80,000)
