You're right. Originally it's "shika" and for that I should have used "mirli".

As for the twister, it's partly due to the irony that kamoshika (Bovidae) and shika (Cervidae) are biologically distant but lexically close. It can translate as:

kamoshika       - mo      | shika    - mo      |      || shika        - da     | ga
la .kamomirlin. - ku ji'a | lo mirli - ku ji'a | zo'u || mirli (pe'a) - (ju'a) | ku'i
