     [...] zirlai naupang 6,452 chu food poisoning vangin an damlo tawh.

     ...over 6452 schoolchildren have fallen ill due to food poisoning.

Usually appears in the oblique form vângin (“because [of]”).

A cognate is found in Eastern Cham peng (“to obey”) (Shin'e & Sakaya, 2014), which might be a rather late Vietnamese loan as suggested by its monosyllabic shape.
