This occurred to me in IRC just a few days ago, and I figured that I should
inform the broader community of this "discovery". Until now, {pe naku} has
been regarded as gibberish, and has been used essentially only in pointing
out weird stuff that can be done with the grammar. However, I've figured
out a practical use for it.

Consider the following:
{.i mi se gunta re lo gerku .i pa lo gerku cu bunre .ije lo drata naku go'i
.i lo gerku pe naku cu simlu lo ka xendo zmadu lo gerku pe ja'aku}
We can use {pe naku} and also {pe ja'aku} to create a disambiguation
between things based on whether or not they have a contextually relevant
property, in this case {ka bunre}.

What do you think of this?
