Paiwan Every Day 48: huing (ほいいん)

Like likisi (れきし 歴史), 'law' and 'court' in Paiwan are also borrowed from Japanese ほうりつ 法律and ほういん 法院ほ. As for three different levels of court - regional, high, supreme - , new Paiwan terms are made for them by ILRDC:

• Regional Court: cihu huing 
• High Court: kutu huing
• Supreme Court:tjaljavavavan a huing

Interestingly, while the first two new terms are pure borrowing, the third one is a combination of Paiwan vocabulary and borrowing. What are the guidlines for making new terms in indigenous languages? 

navaik aken a sema kutu huing tucu a qadaw. 

In English: 

I went to the High Court today. 

Glossary:
