<title>Negation of minor grammatical constructs</title>
<para>We have a few other constructs that can be negated, all of them based on negating individual words. For such negation, we use the suffix-combining negator, which is
<valsi>nai</valsi>.
<valsi>nai</valsi>, by the way, is almost always written as a compound into the previous word that it is negating, although it is a regular separate-word cmavo and the sole member of selma'o NAI.</para>
<para>Most of these negation forms are straightforward, and should be discussed and interpreted in connection with an analysis of the particular construct being negated. Thus, we will not go into much detail here.</para>

<valsi>nai</valsi> is used:</para>

<valsi>nai</valsi> suffix usually indicates a contradictory negation of the tagged bridi. Thus
<oldjbophrase>punai</oldjbophrase> as a tense inflection means
<quote>not-in-the-past</quote>, or
<quote>not-previously</quote>, without making any implication about any other time period unless explicitly stated. As a result,</para>

<xref linkend="chapter-negation"/>. There are two forms of negation in Lojban: contradictory and scalar negation. Contradictory negation expresses what is false, whereas scalar negation says that some alternative to what has been stated is true. A simple example is the difference between
<quote>John didn't go to Paris</quote> (contradictory negation) and
