"Everything" being "every other bridi operator", everything
that operates on a bridi: i.e quantifiers and logical
connectives.

Here {na} is embedded in the description selbri:
{lo na broda} = {zo'e noi naku zo'u ke'a broda}

Even if you don't like this particular expansion, in whatever
expansion you use presumably {na} will be negating a subordinate
description bridi.

{nabu} is a lerfu, a term by itself.

I assumed you meant to type {na bo}, analogous to {na'e bo},
but that doesn't work.
