I loved all of your ideas that i saw (sorry i'm skimming my emails cause
i have too many of them), but this one jumped out at me. Assuming i
remember the phonology post well, _nai_ would be something like /naj/ ?
In Rokbeigalmki, _Yún nii_ (pronounced the same way) would mean "there is
no Yoon." The equivalent of your _nai_ is _tii_ /taj/.
