It's pretty close in meaning to "nal-". Possible differences are:
*"nalviska" implies having eyes but being unable to see, or having no sight 
but other senses, whereas "narviska" means simply not seeing. So I'd describe 
a table as "narviska", but not "nalviska".
*If "nar-" is followed by more than one rafsi, it negates the whole following 
string of rafsi, whereas if "nal-" is followed by more than one rafsi, it 
negates just the next one, or just the seltau.
