qemerepus a djalan.

Reading:
From Wei-chen Huang, "A Study of Verbal Morphology in Puljetji Paiwan" (2012), p. 33.
Huang's translation goes "Clouds appear on the road", but I prefer the translation on CIP Online Paiwan Dictionariy qemerepus 'to fog up'. Also scientifically a visble body of condensed water close to the earth is called fog or mist, and that close to the sky, called cloud.
