I think you may be mislead by the parser here. The remote axis
expression cannot be attached to the x1 sumti just by juxtaposition.
You need {ne} or one of its kin to attach it.

I wouldn't be surprised either way, since I haven't chased it down through
the grammar. But the parser certainly does not treat it like a tense
proper,
grouping it with x1, not with the bridi tail.
