In order:

{lung} means "lizard" (KGT 218) so a {lung'a'} would be a "great 
lizard."  {lung'a'pu'} implies they're capable of language, so...

I indicated that {yuQvam}, "this planet," was the topic by adding the 
suffix {-'e'}.  Ergo this planet (Earth) is/was inhabited by the 
creatures I listed.  Given that I stated the topic in the previous 
sentence, I didn't think I needed to restate it in the second.
