{le besna po nanmu} should be {lo besna po lo nanmu} or {lo besna be lo 
nanmu}.

{nanmu} might should be {remna}. Do you mean to restrict it to males?

{juf-} should be {jaf-} or {jma-}. {juf-} is the rafsi of {jufra}. I think the 
last word should be {jmarixmlicro}, but I'm not sure.

{nenri lo jmati'e}.

The sentence should begin {ganai da'i}; {gi} is a coordinating conjunction, 
and needs something to coordinate with. This makes it two bridi, but one 
jufra.
