Something unspecified is a named {casti} southcow, and the name belongs to=
=20
Djeris, but you don't say what the name is, or who or what Djeris is.

Looks like you got "li'e" (a preposition meaning "preceded by") confused=20
with "li'u" (end quote).

If Camdjan will be a buying newcow of the Redjed breed, what is she now?=20
What's the relation between the newcow's name and Rosas? Who or what is=20
Rosas?

The conjunction "ce" makes a set, in this case one with two elements, the=
=20
second being all the friends taken together (I think that with "ro le pendo=
"=20
each friend would be a member, but xorxes has thought more on the "ro le"/"=
le=20
ro" distinction). Sets can't play. They have cardinality, and members, and=
=20
they can be joined and intersected, but not much else. I think you mean "jo=
i"=20
or "jo'u" or "e".

The correct form is "naurbakni", but "nakybakni" is semantically better,=20
since "nanmu" means a male human. "naubakni" falls apart; "nau" means "now"=

even if "ki" has set the default tense to something else. ta'o le nakni bak=

Just sounds like a name to me.
