  I'm not sure what the l2 part does?   This describes someone who
passes through a barrier that is next to something else?  Not sure of
the utility.  What's the English being translated here, if I may ask?
(I sincerely hope not "passes by".)

  Curious as to why you went with "tu'a lo grute be g2" rather than
simply "g1".  I think I know the answer (you wanted a flavor/variety,
rather than a specific fruit), and don't REALLY have a problem with
it, but it would seem to me that g1 would have accomplished the same
thing in the context.

  Pretty much the same question as above.  Although it seems to me
that one important piece is missing in using this word as a gloss for
"marmalade".  A defining part of marmalade isn't necessarily citrus
(although, I concede it's almost universally true), but that it
contains the rind of the fruit.  (I know it's not your creation).

 Fine.
