Is it correct? The nai bonds to the y. NAI never bond to a word other than the immediately preceeding one. Thus, mi viska le bloti ynai means "I see the boat (and I don't hesitate to say so)" whereas mi viska le bloti nai is ungramatical. I have been unable to find Y being negated in this way in any real use, however.
