{ne'inai} is contrary negation.  It simply says "it is false that
it is within", just like a na.  This goes for PU and FAhA alike,
and there's an example specifically regarding this (ne'inai) in the
book (chap 10, ex 18.3).

This may or may not be sufficent for the use camgusmis was looking
for...

Note that NAhE are fine even on floating tenses, so you can also
use {to'e ne'i} to mean outside.  (There's also an example of this
in the book; 18.6 same chap)
