On "ze'apu naje ca"; this is indeed grammatical, and probably even preferable
to "ze'apunai je ca", since "-nai" is generally understood to negate the
preceding word only.  Since "punai" is defined to be a contradictory negation
(negating the whole bridi of which this is the tense), its use here is
confusing.

The fact is that PU+nai and its analogue FAhA+nai are warts left over from
Loglan, and should probably be eschewed in all but the simplest constructs.
