"lo nanca be li 1924" means "1924 years"; you want "le 1924moi nanca".

jirnydza: If you mean "deer", that's "mirli". But I've seen a tongue 
twister "kamoshika mo shika mo shika da ga", "the serow and the shika are 
both deer", and the serow is actually a goat-antelope. What's the Japanese 
word here mean?

pevymoklu: "y" isn't needed.

Maybe more later...
