¿El pongo ku ki'a? The only noun "pongo" I know is the genus of the orangutan.

zasni: Besides "passenger", "pasajero" also means "passing, fleeting".

tabra: Given the context, "metales" must mean "brasses".

sevzi: "sí" is a pair of homonyms. The one that means "yes" is irrelevant; the 
other one is the reflexive pronoun, which also has the clitic form "se".

ragve: should "través" be "a través"?

suelo: "soler" is irrelevant.
