I'm not familiar with those tribes names (dealt more with Lakota, Haida, Tlingit - and Aztek etc.)

Rereading my translated sentences, I discovered some real BS (shame!):

.i pe'i e'u le jibri be ge la tcarls. gi la djounz. ba suksa se dicra - (this is *forethought* connective)
ta lante je botpi kargau - (the "ke ... ke'e  is hardly necessary since the tanru grouping with jeks has higher precedence, 
additionally there rules left-grouping)

le ca djedi ku lo'i kreka'apre ku'a lo'i ka'armikce na mutce barda - ("these days" should at least be {ca loi djedi ku}, maybe the real 
meaning could be expressed better with something like {... ca ze'upu na'e mutce barda}

There might be still more mistakes. :(

I'd be interested to find a lujvo for "breeder", have no idea!

BTW, what could be the meaning of {le zbasu tu'a loi ninmu}? (How) can {tu'a} be incorporated in a lujvo?

Is it allowed to make a brivla from e.g. {le nolraitru} to express "this is *the* King" rather than "this is *a* king" (ti me le 
nolraitru/ti nolraitru) - Sapir/Whorf might be rolling in their graves!
