1/9 ||What a majestic serpent—surely it won’t weave itself into the loom of infinity, nor coil into the wheel of endless ruin and rebirth... OH MY GOD—IT’S JAWS CLOSE UPON ITS OWN FLESH. Fangs stinging deep into its own tail, it gnaws its bones as if they were the ribs of time itself; it drinks its own marrow as if siphoning eternity..
A beast both devourer and devoured, a whisper swallowed by its own echo—slithering Tail-Eater! Truly a testament to the unbroken dirge of time, now and for ever curled in my heart and the heart of the world.||

I believe those sections are based on relatively extensive polling etc. so are likely to be reflective of how the general community uses the word, and in my experience ppl do tend to use "ma" for "place" generally

// ||I like that over the course of this translation we've kept the first bit, but intensified it greatly, and completely negated the "small and cute" bit until now we literally just have a hellhound lol||

// sudo-i has a different nasin than others

// in their opinion, ma shouldn't mean any place

// ma is okay to use as place if you want it to

// also, my translation was meant to be nasa

// no one in a regular conversation unless for some ultra specific contexts would misinterpret "...lon ma ante" as "other earthly truth"

//tl;dr jan mute la, kon pi nimi ma li ken "(any) place". sudo-i la, kon pi nimi ma li ken ala "(any) place"

yh but I don't think they realised bc they were trying to correct my translation, which is why i checked
