Here I'd use the noun {'op} "some, an unknown or unspecified
quantity": {'op parmaq} "some of the love/lust". We don't know whether
{parmaq} can be divided like this, but {'ay'} "section, part, component,
piece" doesn't feel right to me. Our only example of the latter is
{'ay'mey tetlh} "technical callouts" (i.e. a "parts list") on the BoP
poster so {'ay'} is probably refers to a physical object, although we do
use it fairly often on this List metaphorically.
