That's what {fi'o na broda} amounts to when you do all the
transformations, at least in the basic case:

fi'o na broda ko'a brode
= ko'a na broda fai lo nu brode
= naku zo'u ko'a broda fai lo nu brode
= naku zo'u fi'o broda ko'a brode

It will be a bit more complicated when quantifiers and
connectives are involved, but CLL doesn't mention any
interaction with them, so precedent is not a problem there.

I think -nai is a neat and compact way of doing some negations.
It should be in CAI though, it shouldn't have the exotic grammar
it has.
