  Using "pare" as the argument to "ju'u" is asking for trouble, since interpreting its meaning depends upon the base you are in! Every numbering system thinks it's in base "10".  That's why gai is a safer choice.

That would be an egg chicken. I'd just say "sovda", as long as it's clear from
the context that they are chicken eggs and that they are not laid by roosters.
Or are you asking which came first?

No, sometimes I get which part goes first in a lujvo backwards. In this case, I was pretty sure that a "chicken egg" is {jipcyso'a}, but just in case....
