This is my first real crack at translation and all that.  Now, if I did this
correctly I think this says (roughly): "My apparently white lives".  Is this
correct?  
Pu' being the plural
wI' being possessive
yIn being lives (I'm assuming the noun)
chiS being white
law' being apparently or seemingly

Am I right?
