でなきゃ / ごと

[eeky]

Hi,


1. 「でなきゃ、何かに変装してるわね — 鎧とかなんかに。」

She is talking about a monster that might be let out when a secret chamber is opened.

What does でなきゃ mean here?


2. ロンがヒルの上から死んだクサカゲロウを、袋ごと鍋にあけながら言った。

Does 袋ごと mean "the whole bag (of クサカゲロウ)"?

1)
そうでなきゃ
if not, / if it's not so,

2)
From the context, yes. It also can mean "including the bag", though.

1. The previous thing she said is 「それ、きっと透明になれるのよ」. So, she means if the monster can't make itself invisible, it would disguise itself, right?

 

[Toritoribe]

Right.
