RECORD: some negation details
nai always negates the immediately preceding word, so no ambiguity follows
from je ge'e nai. It may, however, be the wrong thing to say, if it were
intended to be from je nai by inserting the UI ge'e. The move is legal, but
the preparser takes ge'e nai as a complex UI (nai goes with the immediately
preceding word, remember) and blots it out, leaving the je alone, not the je
nai.
na'e attaches to the immediately following component of a selbri (na'e ke is
needed, to attach to the whole selbri, if it is complex). The place
structure of na'e broda is the same as that of broda, so na'e and se can be
interchanged when not part of a tanru.
