As the Red Book explains in Section 15.7, the meaning of "nai" depends on
the selma'o of the word it is attached to.  It is contradictory negation
(na) when attached to NU, A, GIhA, JA, GA, GUhA, GI, PU, FAhA, BAI.
It is scalar negation (na'e) when attached to JOI, BIhI, ROI, TAhE, ZAhO.
It is polar negation (to'e) when attached to COI, UI, CAI.  When standing
alone as a text-0, it is vague in meaning (like English "No.").

Here we go again.... that what i started with....

It's the old, old story.  Droid meets droid.  Droid becomes chameleon.
Droid loses chameleon, chameleon becomes blob, droid gets blob back
again.  It's a classic tale.  --Kryten, Red Dwarf
