whoops, the CLL (chapter 15) says otherwise:

The grammar of ``na'' allows multiple adjacent negations, which cancel
out, as in normal logic:

2.11)    ti na na barda prenu co
        melbi mi
    This [false] [false] is-a-big person
        that is (beautiful to me).

which is the same as:

2.12)    ti barda prenu co melbi mi
    This is a big-person that is (beautiful to me).
