Does 'camdjan' come across as the intended 'Farmer John= 9; or does it just look like a sound that could be a name?

(The [] means the = word inside is not needed but is implied; I prefer explicit {ke'a} myse= lf, but I'm pretty sure I'm atypical in that regard.)

nanbakni ki'a .i ta'i ma lo bakni cu snanu
("Nanbakni&q= uot;? What? How is the cow to the south?)

..."I'm apart fro= m all the other cows." The "other" is tricky, because he is = not apart from all of the cows, being one himself. My suggestion is impreci= se, and it is to simply use {lei bakni}--one or more masses of cows that I = have in mind, in this case the mass of all the other ones on the farm.

The cow's "badri" sentence is ungrammatical; li'e exp= ects a sumti after it to say what it is preceded by. To get that, you would= say {mi badri lo nu go'i} or something similar; "I am sad about t= he event of the previous sentence", more or less.

I am not sure if {li'u} is elidable here; I am also not sure how el= ision of {.i} in actual texts (such as in the cow's sentence) works.
Again, {il'e} is not what you want in Shamjan's sentence. {lo= nu go'i} might work.

I'll stop there for now...
