what is the current state?

I presume that, at the moment, these parse as:

naku ta roroiku xagji and
ta naku roroiku xagji

both meaning "it is not true that "that" is always hungry. 

I think this is good. The particular semantics of na, although annoying and sometimes intractible can also be ummm... (no, not useful!) err... interesting...

does ta roroi naku xagji mean "for all times, it is not true that "that" is hungry"?
