Glossary: 
  1. anema: what
  2. a: subject case marker
  3. su: your, genitive (GEN) case marker. In a Paiwan UV sentence, the subject is in genitive case. 
  4. p<in>i-pariuk: what you put in the wok, i.e. food. The root is pariuk 'wok, frying pan'; pi- 'to put in'; -in- 'undergoer voice (UV) case marker'.

From CIP Online Paiwan Dictionary pinariuk. Rather than pinariuk, the recording actually has pinipariuk, which is also more correct for the Paiwan syntax.
