Georgian term or phrase: ფარულად ელამი
The writer is talking about a beautiful woman with red hair. He says როგორც ყველა წითურისა და ფარულად ელამის შემთხვევაშია, მისი სხეულიც ავხორცულ ენერგიას ასხივებდა.

Literally, I guess ფარულად ელამი means "having a secret squint", i.e. a problem with her eyes that she tries to cover up, but that seems a little bit strange and incongruous (are all red-haired women with a squint hyper-sexual???), so I just wanted to check that there wasn't another meaning that I'm missing.

As always, thanks in advance.

Explanation:
There are no formal definition of beauty. This is writer's personal opinion how he assesses beautiful women. Definitely all red-haired women with squint are not considered to be beautiful. So, you are on the right track, nothing is missing.

Explanation:
Yes, it means a woman with squint eyes, but not usual squint eyes. The writer pays him/her attention to a girl's deep eyes and says that her eyes were squint but her squint eyes were not seeable for any person. It is connected to a special skills.
