>(Should I use ny. or my. to refer to "nunbacru ctuca mikce"?

I would use my, but I don't remember us having a fixed rule yet.

>And would it be better to use a lujvo here?)

As you like. I prefer the tanru, which is very clear.

(I think you should say {na'e ke nuntirna jimpe}, otherwise {na'e}
only negates the {nuntirna} bit.)
