i'll give some more context just in case, but the next phrase doesn't clarify anything

[fast raven]

wtf

don't undesrtand what it's mean sorry

[graceful trail]

appereantly she's just talking gibberish then

[trail pendant]

I understand it as "including him", as in he's one of the lions whose land was invaded by hunger and drought

[prime comet]

'Y compris lui' would make sense then, but 'dont lui'? Seems odd to me.

[trail pendant]

yeah it doesn't sound very natural, but I think it works

[prime comet]

I suppose it isn't that absurd. 🤔

[fast raven]

hm ?

Il a laissé la faim et la secheresse envahir la terre des lions, y compris lui.

ca ne marche pas

litteralement, ça veut dire qu'il a laissé la faim et la secheresse envahir son corps au même titre que la terre des lions

ça implique donc de mettre "lui" et "la terre des lions" sur le même plan semique. Or je ne suis pas sûr que la sécheresse puisse envahir un corps... Au dela de la personnification douteuse...

[trail pendant]

pour moi "dont lui" veut dire qu'il faisait partie des lions dont la terre a été envahie par la faim et la sécheresse

[fast raven]

Mh

Ça reste mal dit
