I don't understand why you want to treat {ja'a} and {na} differently.
They are both unary operators: negation and identity, or whatever
they are called. (I don't see the advantage of calling them
connectives either, a connective with a single connectand?) I don't
see why {ja'a} should make any metalinguistic claim if {na} does
not make any.
