As for d-, why is it not a unary operator, analogous to the new

What happens to any free variables in its complement/dependent? Are
they implicitly bound within the scope of "da", and thus unavailable
for binding by another operator? That would seem to be what makes
sense for names.


I agree.


So I thik we could use "no" for the onomasticker, but I don't see how
"ne" could work.


I meant it was analogous to "ne" in that it binds a variable within its complement and returns a monadic predicate. "la no je xkra xrma mrsa", "Black Horse is dead".
