Re: [lojban] Meaning of multiple negations

So is this something that has a correct and accepted and confusing answer, or is this something still under active discussion?

That in itself wouldn't be a problem. More troublesome is that "full
bridi scope" is not well defined. What would you say are the relative
scopes of "su'o", "gi'e" and "na" in:

  su'o prenu cu ricfu gi'e na gleki

(I say that means "su'o da poi prenu zo'u ge da ricfu gi da na gleki"
but that puts "na" within the scope of both "su'o" and "gi'e", so no
"full bridi scope" there.)
