  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.

In my opinion, there is no (semantical) difference between sumtcita and selbri tcita.
TAG broda = TAG zo'e broda = TAG ku broda.
The placement of cu is purely a grammatical thing, it has no bearing on meaning. It just so happens that non-filled TAGs right before the selbri get merged with them to allow things like lo TAG broda etc.

  

  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?)

I don't want to comment on every single one with the same single line every time: "Thanks, I corrected it" :) I do read all of them. When I don't agree with something, I comment on it.
