We could not find any examples of the different meanings of the first two words. However, we found examples for the first word.
ၵႂၢႆး ပဵၼ် ၸိုင်
Buffalo ill limping
The buffalo is limping
ပဵၼ် သင် လႃႇ
be what [particle]
What is it huh?
The generalizations that we could come up with was that whenever ပဵၼ် is followed by a verb, it is translated as ill. In all other cases it is translated as be.
For the other words, since we could only find examples for one of the meaning, we added that meaning as the default translation.
