Scope. "na" negates a bridi, while "na'e" negates the word/construct
that immediately follows.

"ko na'e crogau mi" means you are asking Language to other-than-hurt
you. Language may then play dumb and ask you "oh, you want me to do
something to you in addition to hurting you?". With "na" you are just
asking Language not to hurt you.

"doi" simply identifies who you are speaking to. "ju'i" is more to
call their attention, like "hey!".
