alé– (2), pre. Not (also unstressed, as ale-, or before a vowel as al-). The proper form of the prefix is "alez," which may appear in full with loan words or rarely negated verbs.

no–, pre. As nato + lú(n); used before a consonant. See lú. Explicitly, no- means something that is not of a similar or analogous essence, e.g. red is no-green, but greenish red is lú-green. A typewriter and a word processor are lú to each other, but a typewriter and a book are no.

alez, pm. Not. The sentence is true but the following noun clause is wrong: Sa rau amis, alez lau: "I love you, not her." Unlike the English conjunction "not" this can be used before any noun clause without sounding awkward: Sa setir alez elíel, olíel (I ate not at there, at here) translates to "I didn't eat there, but I did eat here." Note also that this particle is only used with nouns and becomes a prefix with verbs; see alé-.

alez– (2), pre. Indicates a verb or action is not occurring.

naté, conj. Not; generally used to join clauses.

nai, conj. Not; generally used to join a pair of nouns or verbs.

alya, adv. Not to; see alez-.
