Paiwan Every Day 220: qaljic

In English: 
Her skin is white. 

Glossary: 
  1. vucelai-celai: white, reduplication (RED)
  2. a: nominative (NOM) phrase marker
  3. qaljic: skin, spelt as qaljits in 1982 R. Ferrell dictionary. But in CIP Online Paiwan Dictionary, qaljic means sexual organs. I wonder about this meaning change. 
  4. nimadju: his or her, 3rd person genitive (GEN)
