As I said, I would rather that functions be predicates, as irt makes for less confusion
and shows the role better: evaluating a new, but related, predicate rather than a comment on how the old predicate is evaluated.
{na} is a connective, so none of the categories outlined.  It has fixed rules within any evaluation system (and those rules have to fall within a fairly limited range: inversion, True-n, rotation left or right.  I can't think of any other plausible {na} at the moment.)
