nal is the rafsi of na'e, not na. It parses with "na'e morji".

The first one means "that I drink x after is not likely" - "ba" is modifying
"pinxe" and expecting a sumti, presumably an event. In the second, "ku" closes
"le" and "le nu mi pinxe xy. ku" is the subject of "ba na lakne". You could
have equally used "kei" which closes "nu".
