The nai bonds to the y. NAI never bond to a word other than the immediately
preceeding one. Thus, mi viska le bloti ynai means "I see the boat (and I
don't hesitate to say so)" whereas mi viska le bloti nai is ungramatical. I
have been unable to find Y being negated in this way in any real use,
however.



That's icky. Saying "uh" should not change the grammar of the sentence.
It should be pre-parsed out like word+SI.


".y" is in selma'o Y, not UI - can it really be negated?
