"zo'e ga'i", IIRR, means that the speaker feels haughtiness toward zo'e, which 
doesn't make much sense.

I think "vlilydanlu" should be "mabru". A deer, mentioned in the next 
utterance, isn't what I'd call a vlilydanlu, although the act of shooting a 
deer is certainly vlile. Maybe it could be "cicymabru".

"ei" doesn't make much sense. "As to offering a few bullets to the side of a 
deer's belly, I am *obliged* that it would be very pleasing, which I look 
forward to."

Is that a lake or depression on a mountaintop?

face-weather?

mountain-chicken? The English translation says "game birds". What's the 
original say?

I can't quite make sense of this. "Not despite being an environment of this, 
it actually is a corporation site"?

"ni'i" means a logical reason. One of the other whys probably would make more 
sense.

Did the dogs say "sa'ei", or did they just say "niaaon.kuaan.gorgor"? I 
suspect the latter, which is grammatical according to jbofi'e.

> .gasagasas

I think that should be "gasagasag" or "gasagas". Adding an "s" at the end 
breaks the pattern.
