Wake or halo can be used indiscriminately as a negative prefix, though if the word following wake starts with a "K" sound, use halo. It sounds better. Compare:
| wake kull | halo kull |
| wake kumtux | halo kumtux |
| wake cole | halo cole |
| wake klatawa | halo klatawa |
| |
When a word is needed that is not in the jargon, sometimes forming a negative compound works. For example:
| far = siah | near = not far = wake siah |
| heavy = till | light = not heavy = halo till |
| many = hiyu | some = not many = wake hiyu |
| win = tolo | fail = not win = wake tolo |
| soft, smooth = klimin | rough = not soft, not smooth = halo klimin |
| sharp = tsish | dull = not sharp = halo tsish |
