I'm happy to go with the parser here. You argued for
the other interpretation at some point. Notice that
means that for example in {su'o da na broda gi'e brode},
{na} can't have scope over {su'o}. So the general rule
that pre-selbri {na} goes to the beginning of the
prenex appears to be in conflict with the parse
in this case.

No left parenthesis possible there, but {naku} will
do it.

I only mentioned that case because it is one where
you opposed the parse in the past, but if you now don't
oppose it, we are in agreement.

Yes, it's mostly about those.
