Paiwan Every Day 563: bindjiu / pu'acangan / kaya / kakivaliyan

I have issues with today's vocabulary. Totally personal. But it turns out to be very interesting. 

A loanword from Japanese in Ferrell becomes a 'made' word in ILRDF and klokah. The example in klokah is euphemism. Paiwan elders are quite private about certain acticities such as bowl movements and will not directly refer to them but through euphemism. The effort to replace loanwords is obvious. I don't know about the source of kaya, nor have I ever heard of it. 

bindjiu: toilet, privy (Jap.) (Ferrell, p. 64).

From Raleigh Ferrell's Paiwan Dictionary (1982), ILRDF Online Paiwan Dictionary rigi, and klokah uma/ema/ba. 

This is intriguing. Why can't we be straightforward and just say 'we don't have horses here'. Instead, we need to say 'there is no our seeing of horse or horse is not of our seeing here'. 

tjapacucunan is so complicated and beautiful! what does it say about Paiwan? I have to know. 

neka a nia rigi imaza. Our horse is not here. This sentence means we have a horse, just the horse is not here but somewhere else. So how can you say horse is not a local species or is introduced in Paiwan?

Paiwan Every Day 545: maya

Ferrell has two definitions for maya in his 1982 Paiwan Dictionary, yet I only hear and use maya as the second definition. 

maya: be thus (Ferrell, p. 61). I think it is a combination of ma- 'be affected by or in the condition of' and aya 'thus'. 

• maya tucu: like this, as follows
• maya tuazua: like that, that is the way
• namaya: the same as
• ui, nu maya: alright then, if it is this way

maya: do not! (Ferrell, p. 61). This is a word of its own.

Paiwan Every Day 543: -aw / -ay

Here are two suffixes in Ferrell that I have not yet read anywhere nor heard about. 

-aw: object focus, indefinite future / projected or intended action, referent [object?] focus

• ku-kan-aw: I will probably eat it (Ferrell, p. 60)
• ku-qaljup-aw: I will probably hunt (Ferrell, p. 17)

Word gloss: 

1. ku: my, 1st person SIN GEN

Voice file: 

From Raleigh Ferrell's Paiwan Dictionary (1982). 

I actually think -aw is object focus while -ay is referent focus. What does it mean, in addition to the semantic difference on the object (thing being eaten or hunted) and the location (where eating or hunting takes place)? And I am reading simply by pronouncing the combination of etters. I either have never heard these words or do not remember them at all.
