Hand and arm are the same word in Okinawan (<>), but different words in Miyako. If <> is followed by an instrumental, we are assuming it is hand.

(ryu) てぃいしかちゅん → (mvi) てぃーひーかきー
(ryu) てぃー<n><ins> かちゅん<v><npst> → (mvi) てぃー<n><ins> かきー<v><npst>

はい can mean field, needle, or south, and is also a causative auxiliary verb. If it is followed by string, it is probably needle.
