Translate dialogue batch 9: Brittle Hollow clan saga (Phase 5)

94 Nomai lines: the Escape Pod 1 clan's story on Brittle Hollow -- the
crash, the volcanic-moon danger, the quantum-grove wandering trees and
shard, the Eye-signal locator, the migration to the northern glacier,
and the grief for lost loved ones (Plume, Thatch, Filix, Lami, Annona,
Rhus, Ilex, Spire, Coleus, Cassava, Kousa).

Gender cues resolved: Filix feminine ("her note"), Melorae feminine
("Aunt Melorae") -- retroactively corrected batch 7's 7 Melorae lines
from masculine to feminine. Recorded in glossary. Poems (Ilex's
gravity-hole rhyme) flagged for review.

Verified: XML well-formed; keys identical; markup parity on all changed
values; ship log/UI/rest byte-unchanged; mod builds.
