sts:
"vakxe mamensanta toyuva" modifies "bube caysi" and not "jamegompa".
therfore i'd say: "Bube caysi vakxe mamensanta toyuva jamegompa vatsi
di meto gasande mendu."

stefo,
do you mean that that "vakxe" SHOULD refer back to "bube caysi" and not "jamegompa"?  it looks to me like "vakxe" does refer back to "jamegompa", the same way "gasande" does.  i like it close to "gasande mendu".
