1) "ze'u ze'u" is not recognized by genrei or jobski. If
it is in fact not permissible, might I suggest "ba'e
ze'u"?
Any combination of TAGs is fine. Anything else would be madness.
Still, I changed it to "ze'u sai".
If you want to use it as a tag, then instead of "....cu ze'u ze'u cpana..." use "....ze'u cu ze'u cpana" or "ze'u ku ze'u cpana..." The problem you are encountering is that within the selbri (to the right of the cu) it's NOT a tag, but a subsidiary tense.
2) You got tripped up here due to the default grouping of
multiple logical connectives. This says that she was "not
(both lying a long time in the coffin and decaying) but
seemed to be sleeping" In other words, she either was not
lying a long time in the coffin, or not decaying, or
perhaps both. Not what you wanted. Stick a "bo" after the
second gi'e to solve that.
That's one way. I just moved the na in front of fusra instead.
That works, too. (No comments on my other emails?)
