As to why it doesn't get used, if indeed it doesn't, I can't think of any good
uses for it in ordinary contexts. Without having checked any texts, I would
guess that actual uses of it may tend to be errors where {na} was meant.

I'm inclined to think that it is more likely that {na} was used mistakenly (or less accurately) for {na'e}, which is a more precise notion  (see Cowan's comments on scales).  There still won't be a lot of cases, admittedly.
