Please explain the construction of {ije ko'a nu jmive} which I don't understand. This seems to be a pro-sumti followed by an abstractor followd by a gismu. How does it mean "It (the Great Worm) is life"?

I don't think, that ga'u ti makes much sense as a translation, i'd
rather say {le jdapre cu cusku dei}
also in the sentence before that you have djicu, but want djica.
and also:
> .ije ko'a du le nunji'e
this would be so much nicer if it were
{ije ko'a nu jmive}
this use of du is (IMHO) malglico
