Yes.

That's ungrammatical as of right now.

So, in other words, {gleki nai} means ---PARSE ERROR---

We are talking about xorxe's proposals  which are counterintuitive as i'm trying to show.
{nai} works fine in logical connectives where it (semantically) means {na}, works well with UI having another meaning.
But those two meanings currently being strictly separated in the mind of nintadni will collide and conflict with each other if xorxe's proposal is applied.

-nai means what it is convenient for it to mean in the specific
circumstances in which it is legal.
