Reading:

From conversation with kina naluku (sepungudan village). 

Mom (age +60) said she when was young, her father (my grandfather sapay) would catch cicadas and bring them home and her mother (my grandmother saljen) would roast the cicadas for the kids. Mom especially likes the qalumanluman or fatty cicadas in fall; the riljayriljay or slim ones, she said, does not taste much. 

I find that Mom uses a lot of reduplication (RED) in her Paiwan even for a simple description when she isn't particularly stressing anything. It appears the RED form of words is common for her.
