negation and compounding

In English, most or all negative words formed from non-negative words have n=
-=20
or no-  in them, such as:
none
nothing
never
nor
neither
etc.

in Nzva, "fu" means roughly "not", and many negative words are compounds of=20
it and other words:
fau-none (lit. "no it")
fold-foolish (lit. f + [english] old, this is a bilingual compund)
fid-nor (from fu + a=F0 (also))
finik-lit. not every
fuu-not it, something else
ferd-not only (fu + berd (every))
fazu-not with (fu + za (with, in infix that goes from CV to VC and follows=20
the first C of the word it modifies)

Are there any other languages (I mean, of course there are, I am just lookin=
g=20
for examples) in which negative words are consistently compounded with other=20
words in such a fashion?
